CAGiversary!
So okay. My brother found me a open box Rocketfish 4 port HDMI switch because my TV only has 2 hdmi ports. (Pretty annoying.)
Recently I started getting major fuzz and stuff; it turned out it was the cable that attached it to the TV but I got a new switch from Monoprice to try since I was troubleshooting. Well? I don't know what caused it (Static on the cables, maybe?) but for a bit, my PS4 seemed to be haunted and turned on when I turned on my PS3. (Uh..) Went back to the Rocketfish, it did it again when I turned the PS3 on to watch something on Crunchyroll. I've uncrossed the HDMI cables, hopefully that'll stop that.
Thing is, I can see myself getting a Nintendo Switch in the near future; I'm just waiting to see what games come out for it first (I don't lay down the money for a system unless it has at least 3 games I want to play; want it to be worth it) Mind, that Rocketfish has been a trouper and still works okay(It's been there since 2015 btw) now that I got a new cable to attach it to the TV, but I want to make sure I got HDMI ports to spare. There will be new consoles and I rarely sell a console.
So. Anyone know any reasonably priced HDMI switchers that have more than 4 ports? I know some swear by Kinovo but I'd rather reach beyond that and have some options when the inevitable "Oh no, I got more consoles than I have HDMI ports" comes up again.
