I have my wii and a my ps2, both outputting component (RGBLR, or PBbyBrLR, doesn't really matter which), but only one component input on my screen. I'm getting bored of swapping them over all the time.

Can you get either a) a junction box, small and unpowered, that I can plug both into or b) a scart adaptor for it because I do have a spare scart socket on the back of my screen, and as far as I can tell scart will cary component.

my wii came with a rgb-scart converter, yours should have one aswell? :? :) a component-scart converter might not work, the scart expects an rgb signal and it completely distorts the screen (some screens do support it but not sure if it's standard now or whatever :?)

you shouldn't do. I'm talking about running a component signal through a scart socket, there's no electrical change, only physical

just buy a component switch box.
they start at about 12 quid on ebay.

the better ones are autoswitching or remote, they switch to whatever signal is on,
