Giving a second chance is good for both peoplePublished 5:00am Wednesday, April 10, 2013
I've realized lately that one of the rare commodities in small towns (like ours) is a second chance.
Most of us typically know our neighbors, we have heard the neighborhood gossip, and we think we know the ups and downs associated with the lives of our acquaintances. Our trusting nature enables us to remain open to people in the beginning, but once we're hurt or disappointed we have a tendency to turn away.
Who wants to be in a position of being hurt or disappointed over and over? Not many.
However, there is a small group among us who believe wholeheartedly in second chances. What makes them more open to the concept than the rest of us?
Perhaps, they have been given a second chance. Maybe it's a reflection of up-bringing or religious beliefs. Christ's advice to "let he who is without sin cast the first stone," has a nagging way of reminding me that I should not be judgmental when situations arise.
That doesn't erase the fear of opening yourself up again to the possibility of being hurt. We can blame trust for that.
Sure, along with second chances you have to step out on a limb and employ a little trust. Maybe that's really the hardest part for us all. Our trust is incredibly precious and even more vulnerable. It certainly takes a long time to build and has the ability to disappear in an instant.
In spite of fear and mistrust, I urge you to be open to second chances. Stop and think of where you would be if you were never offered a second chance.
Would things in or around your life be somewhat different? Could you have changed someone's life for the better if you had offered another chance to make things right? Employ a little trust, step out on a limb, and offer a second chance or two.
I have, and I can honestly say it's made a difference in my life and in their lives.
The feeling of knowing that I have contributed to positive influence and change makes the fear I felt in the beginning well worth it.

Explore the origins and evolution of ISIL
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
29 Aug 2010 16:43 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Egypt, France, Venezuela
" />
On this week's episode of The Listening Post, we take a look at the on air video wars following the Gaza flotilla attack and dip into our archive to give you an excerpt from one of our favourite interviews: Wael Abbas on the Egyptian blogosphere.
When news editors woke up on the first day of June, the story that an aid ship on course for Gaza had been raided by Israeli forces would have already come down the wire. The ship was called the Mavi Marmara and had a Turkish crew, nine of which were killed in the raid.The vessel was also carrying a host of camera laden journalists but strangely global news agencies only had two minutes of edited footage to broadcast. Why? Well that is because all the journalists on board the Flotilla were incarcerated and their equipment confiscated, so the two minutes of footage that the world actually saw was carefully screened by the Israeli military.Considering the whole incident took place over a number of hours yet the footage released represented just a fraction of that time, there appears a very deliberate effort to conceal details of what actually occurred. And many media outlets around the world were guilty of uncritically buying the limited narrative fed to them - Israeli soldiers kill hostile crew members in self-defence. But as the captive journalists were steadily released, so was their side of the story, the other angle for the broadcasters to consider - one of an aggressive military raid that claimed nine lives.Our News Divide this week looks at both sides of this story to try and piece together what really happened out on the high seas.
In this week's Newsbytes: The Pentagon is reportedly searching for the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange after claims that he is in possession of classified government information; Iranians battle to tune into a documentary on Neda Agha-Soltan, the woman who was killed during the protests in Iran last year; an arrest warrant has been issued in Venezuela for the owner of Globovision, Guillermo Zuloaga after comments he made about President Hugo Chavez; and a journalist in France is facing five years in prison for posting a video online that did not show President Nicolas Sarkozy in a favourable light.
Wael Abbas is one of Egypt's best-known bloggers. His site Misr Digital or Egyptian Awareness has broken some big stories, produced some daring analysis and continues to be a thorn in the side of the Mubarak government. Abbas is doing something that is rarely done in the Middle East: openly expressing his opinion and he has gotten away with it so far because he is doing it online, out of reach of traditional government censorship.But what is it like being a political blogger in a country where it could land you in jail? What is it like being an ambassador for free speech in a region that notoriously restricts it? And has social networking aided or hindered his cause? That and more from Wael Abbas.
Finally, it has not been a good few weeks for BP. Their oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has got the attention of just about every media outlet in every country of the world. So it is only right that the satirists have their turn. They have substituted the oil with coffee, the ocean with an office desk but they have kept the result pretty much the same. And it is our internet video of the week.This episode of The Listening Post aired from Friday, June 18, 2010.

Labels testing technology to limit CD burning
updated 10:05 pm EDT, Wed June 2, 2004
CD burning limitations?
Apple's iTunes and other music services may soon be embroiled in a controversy over as their "short-term" agreements with record labels expire and the recording industry tests new technology that would prevent consumers from making copies of CD "burns," according to CNET News.com: "Tools under review by the major labels would limit the number of backups that could be made from ordinary compact discs and prevent copied, or 'burned,' versions from being used to create further copies....Digital download services say they aren't yet feeling pressure to add the 'secure burning' feature, however. Some said the labels had spent more time discussing the issue as much as six months ago but that it hadn't been a priority recently."

|Food Protective Property of New Liquid Food Container PID (Pouch in Dispenser) for Microbes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21515964 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|We examined the content protection characteristics of the PID (Pouch in Dispenser) when it was used in the usual manner and when it was polluted artificially. When the PID was used in the usual manner, the nozzle was opened, and experiments were carried out with and without air-blowing. The invasion of bacteria into the PID was not detected. Also, no bacteria were detected in the material poured from the nozzle of the PID. When 3 strains of bacteria suspensions were intentionally smeared on the nozzle of the PID, invasion of bacteria was observed. When the PID was wiped with a dirty cloth, no invasion of bacteria into the PID was detected. It may be necessary to label the PID with the instruction that the nozzle should not be touched. The effected of changes in the water activity and pH, and the preservatives used, may also need to be considered, depending on the contents in the PID.

Strike After strike kept Oatman alive, the biggest seems to be the 1915 strike of $14 million. The town has its own paper, the Oatman Miner. The population of Oatman went from a few hundred to over 3500 within a year which lead to long waits at the restaurants. In 1921, a fire burned much of Oatman, but the town was rebuilt. Mining was somewhat sporadic through the next forty years, and oatman still survives today.

Favorite thing: A railway town since its founding, BARSTOW is now a city of 60.000 people. In 1888, the Santa Fe Railroad arrived in town and a splendid station was built in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

The city of Barstow is the mid-point between Los Angeles, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Conveniently located on the intersection of interstates 15 and 40, as well as highway 58 and 247, Barstow provides optimal access to Southern California as well as Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

From the Future
just back from the Future of Music Coalition Summit, which
had a couple of major themes: Fan-financed recordings are
becoming a major driver in the DIY world (check out new player
kickstarter.com); the music industry is rapidly moving from
being product- oriented to service-oriented; Spotify, a U.K.
Internet-and-mobile-device music-delivery company, is going
to change everything when it gets here in the next year or
so; Sen. Al Franken rocks; and the traditional music industry,
represented by a slick RIAA flak who embarrassed himself repeatedly
on a Monday panel, is pathetically arrogant and disingenuous,
and increasingly irrelevant. But we already knew that. Here
are some money quotes from the conference:
you cant get people to take your music for free, dont focus
on how to get people to pay more for it. Jed Carlson, ReverbNation,
quoting Eric Garland, Big Champagne.
were living in a time where every musician is DIY, no matter
how big they are. Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune/Sound
feel so old-fashioned, having a record label. Mac McCaughan,
Merge Records.
Internet is one big file-sharing program. Its what it does.
Bertis Downs, R.E.M. management.
music business was built by Rube Goldberg, and it was designed
by Kafka. Bertis Downs, quoting Rob Glaser.
like how the Future of Music Coalition provides exposure for
up-and-coming musicians like Mike Mills. Watch that Athens,
Georgia, scene. Theres a group of youngsters I thinks gonna
be big called the B-52s. Sen. Al Franken, after being introduced
by R.E.M.s Mike Mills.
far as Im concerned, free speech limited or free speech delayed
is the same thing as free speech denied. Sen. Al Franken,
advocating for net neutrality.
year, the music business is shifting from blocking content
to connecting fans with artists. Joanna Sheldon, Google.
didnt come from Adam and Eve. It was concocted, and I think
theres a reasonable argument to be made that its outlived
its usefulness. Peter Jenner, Pink Floyds manager.
took the labels 10 goddamn years to figure out that people
wanted MP3s. Tim Quirk, Rhapsody.
shouldve negotiated a better deal to start with. Steven
Marks, RIAA, addressing Tim Quirks complaint that the major
labels demanded more money after Rhapsodys iPhone app was
was a very, very stupid thing to say. Tim Quirk, responding
to Steven Marks.
asking a terrific amount to get the turkeys to vote for Christmas.
Peter Jenner, commenting on getting the labels to change
their business model.
start every music story from the perspective that people
arent going to like this and then try to give people reasons
to care. Bob Boilin, NPR.
time I open up a CD I realize Im holding someones heart
in my hands. Bob Boilin.
is not dead. It doesnt even smell funny. John Davis, NPR.
radio stations say they shouldnt pay artists because they
promote their music. But, then, so does everything else.
Congressman Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) on Big Radios resistance

This soup is so simple, with the main ingredient being only carrots, and no potatoes or cream to thicken it. I'm sure there are many directions in which the flavors could travel, but I prefer to make it with a predominantly Indian taste. Feel free to adjust the spicy-level as necessary. I like it with a moderate to intense heat, but you can add more or less cayenne and crushed red pepper to suit your own taste. The final product should be smooth and evenly blended, so you will need some kind of food processing device to get it right. Submitted by EHD630

A cross marks the gravesite of Robert F. Kennedy as a groundskeeper mows the grass above near the Arlington House, at Arlington National Cemetery.
- Filed Under
Where were you when you heard President John F. Kennedy had been shot and killed 50 years ago today? FLORIDA TODAY asked readers, and you responded. Here are some of your recollections.
Bud Reynolds
78, Cocoa Beach
"President Kennedy was assassinated near the end of my first week as a NASA employee. I had worked on another missile program at Cape Canaveral for a little over three years. There was no Kennedy Space Center at that time, only elements of NASA centers located at various sites at Cape Canaveral.
There were no television sets in the offices at that time. All the employees went to the parking lot and congregated around cars to listen to the radio broadcasts.
The radios in the cars at that time were vacuum-tube technology and would drain your car battery in less than one hour so we had to start a car or keep moving from one car to another after about 45 minutes.
I remember the radio commentators talking about emergency personnel taking the president to the hospital, but they did not reveal that he had probably been killed almost immediately. They continued to hold out hope that he would survive. Most of us couldn't believe that this could happen."
Margie Collins
61, Titusville
"I grew up in Massachusetts, the land of the Kennedy dynasty. And even though my parents were Republican Nixon-supporters at the time, there was a general reverence in our community for the Kennedy clan.
In 1963, I was 11 years old and in the fourth grade. I sat in the front row of my class and I remember a teacher coming into our classroom in tears and quietly talking to my teacher, who then broke down as well. We all sat there stunned and silent.
We had never seen teachers break down in any way. They were always in control and on top of things. This was strikingly unusual and disturbing. We couldn't imagine what it could be. When the teacher was able to speak, she told the class that the president had been shot and killed. As fourth graders, although we were definitely shocked, we were not emotionally invested enough to cry. It was more emotional for us to witness our teacher crying. But we also knew that something that we considered hugely powerful, stable and secure in our home state had been shaken to the core.
When the funeral procession was televised, I can still see my father sitting on the couch with his face in his hands. He, too, was crying. I had never seen my father cry, and even after many subsequent years, I remember only one other time that he was that emotional."
Francis Marion Reid
61, Melbourne
"My memories of John Fitzgerald Kennedy begin on a much happier note.
As a young third grader going to Saint Aloysius Gonzaga grade school in Cheektowaga, New York, a suburb of Buffalo, I was excited along with my family and friends when then-Senator Kennedy was elected by a close margin over Richard Nixon in 1960.
So when our school principal announced over the public address system on November 22, 1963, that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, and was not expected to live, I was devastated, and prayed along with my fellow sixth graders for his family.
Now, as I grieve all over again for the many tragedies endured by the Kennedy family, I recall two other treasured personal memories from that time. When I sent Caroline and John-John my entire collection of 'Red Rose Tea' cards out of sympathy, I received a nice thank you card from their mother, Jackie, that I still have today."
Laverne Bruffey
73, Indialantic
"I had just been hired by the National Security Agency in September. While we new hires waited for our Top Secret clearance, we attended classes in the old Army barracks at Fort Meade, Maryland, where NSA is located. That afternoon I was in a geography class and we were told by our instructor that the president had been shot in Dallas. Soon after we were all told to go home.
Driving around the Washington Beltway, I remember hearing funereal music on the radio, the president having died. I was crying so hard I had to pull over to the side of the highway, and there were many more cars doing the same. A sad day never to be forgotten."
John M. Egan
67, Satellite Beach
"As a young airman in the spring of 1962, I was assigned to the 2862nd Ground Electronics Installation Agency, squadron at Patrick Air Force Base. The squadron's mission was to support the manned space program through the installation and maintenance of communications equipment at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Merritt Island Launch Activity (MILA) and later the Kennedy Space Center, their block houses, service towers and the downrange tracking stations.
On November 16, 1963, just six days prior to his tragic death, I and Airman LeVesque were checking the signal strength of one of our repeater units along a remote road within the Cape Canaveral launch complex. I noticed a line of vehicles slowly approaching us. It was unusual for that area, for it was open and vehicles tend to speed through with technicians going to various launch complexes.
I looked up and there in an open car was President Kennedy. As he approached and waved, I came to attention and saluted him. He stood up in his open car and with a wave and a nod he acknowledged my salute."
Donna M. Gates
"I was living in Michigan on that fateful day in 1963. I was a young housewife with two small children. I'll never forget that day as long as I live.
A friend called to tell me to turn on the TV: 'Something is happening in Dallas! The news doesn't look good.'
My husband and I spent the rest of the day and well past midnight watching the news. At about 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 23, a trip to the hospital was made as Baby #3 was arriving. He was born less than 24 hours after President Kennedy was shot. It was a sad/glad time for us."
Barbara Kahn Kaufman
Palm Bay
"I so clearly remember that day as I was at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore. I was visiting my mother who had just had breast cancer surgery. At that time there were no televisions in patient rooms. All of a sudden screaming broke out in the corridor, and I went out to see what had happened. The nurses were sobbing and crying out that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas.
We all gathered around the television in the waiting room to see what had occurred. No one spoke; our eyes were glued to the set. When Walter Cronkite made that now famous pronouncement of the president's death, we stood there stunned, and silent not believing what we had just heard. After what seemed an eternity, we all began to cry as if one of our own family members had just been slain.
I tore myself away from the TV in order to tell my mom what had happened even though I was adding to her pain. I did not want to leave her at that point to return to the waiting room, but other ambulatory patients had radios and came out into the corridor so everyone on the floor could listen to the devastating news."
William Poland
"I was working as an engineer with Union Carbide in Newark, New Jersey, when I heard about the shooting. Everything was confusing and it wasn't until hours later that it was confirmed and the shooter Lee Harvey Oswald was captured.
Everything was closed down for several days and on the following Sunday we watched live as Jack Ruby shot Oswald. I had always been a Republican but several weeks after Kennedy's death when my son was born I changed his name at the hospital from the intended Christopher William to John Fitzgerald."

Ultimate Av Solution
Posted 02 November 2007 - 03:38 AM
I'm looking for the ultimate AV switch. The problem is I have way too much stuff to hook up. I am looking for a device that will let me hook up close to 20+ assorted consoles and audio/video inputs.
I have considered building the device myself but would prefer to purchase a ready made quality solution.
My situation:
I am currently using 5 av switches for various consoles, this is extremely unsiteful and a hap hazard means of accomplishing my goal.
What I have as of current:
5+ composite inputs
4+ component inputs
2 Dvi inputs
4 Svideo
1 Coax
I am hooking all this up to a 37" 1080p Westinghouse LCD. If at all possible I would like the ability to up convert.
If anyone knows of such a solution or suggestions I'd appreciate it.

I am currently daisy chaining 3 of them for composite alone....
Posted 02 November 2007 - 11:58 PM
The joys of being a cable guy. I get paid to hook myself up, then get a bonus for selling myself a High-Def box.
Posted 03 November 2007 - 05:24 AM
I'd suggest the following:
1. a mid-to-high range home theater receiver that upconverts analog signals over component. (I like the Pioneer VSX-1017TX). This gives you the benefit of running minimal cables to the TV. You won't find one that will handle your 5+ composite, 4 component, and 4 S-video inputs though, so you'll then need:
2. A nice component switch that can handle 1080p bandwidth (cheaper ones cannot). You'll be able to find a 4-port one easily.
3. A cheap second switch to handle your composite and S-video inputs.
4. DVI-to-HDMI adapters
So you end up with:
5+ composite inputs: handled by composite/s-video switch
4 component inputs: handled by component switch
2 DVI inputs: handled by receiver (with HDMI-DVI adapters)
4 S-video inputs: handled by composite/s-video switch
One component cable running from receiver to TV
One HDMI cable running from receiver to TV
1 VGA input: direct to TV
1 coax: direct to TV
Many of these switches are rack-mountable or are a standard size and will stack and not be an eyesore.
Good luck!
Posted 03 November 2007 - 02:06 PM
Unfortunately they don't expect consumers to have so many devices.
If you want to start talking specific model numbers and brands for switches I think we should take a look at what you're using today
What do you have for a TV, what resolution does it run, what inputs does it have
What do you have for a Receiver, what inputs does it have does it do video as well and does it offer any scaling features?
What do you have for switches? What inputs/outputs do they have?
Those DVI devices are they DVI-I, DVI-D or DVI-A?
Also if you could give specifics as to the devices your hooking up that might help. Often times it might be beneficial to use a different output mode of a device so knowing what you have will let us know if a certain device can also configured for a different output type.
I've got quite a few devices on my setup as well
wii -component/RCA
360 -component/Optical
ps2 -component/Optical
DVD player - HDMI/Optical
Xbox 1 - component/Optical
Dreamcast -VGA/RCA
PSOne - Svideo/RCA
Saturn - Composite/RCA
and I have 1 switch and 1 remote
you have to be crafty, daisy chaining is bad news for signal fidelity.
I guarantee you wont get out of this for less than $200
oh and I'm moving this to the HDTV forum.
Posted 03 November 2007 - 05:43 PM
Westinghouse 37" LVM-w1 1920x1080
Inputs on the Tv are:
2 Component
2 Composite
2 Svideo
2 DVI (One DVI limited to 720p)
No tuner - No coax in
My current receiver is more limiting than most. It's an Old VHS Dubbing receiver. ( It's really cool I swear!) ATM the only Composite and Svideo sources are run through this. Otherwise my audio is taken from the back of the TV to the receiver. I can switch 3 composite\Svideo sources here.
As for the switches I have a rather hodge-podge list of relatively inexpensive devices (not so great I know).
Component: Mad Catz 6132 HDTV component selector (Got for free)
Composite\Svideo\Coax: Pelican Universal System Selector + Some cheap Radio shack Av switch.
Dvi's are currently run direct to the TV
What I've got to plug in... (As of today) Both cable options listed if I had them
1 Sega Master System (Composite)
1 Sega CD/Genesis (Composite)
1 NES (Composite)
1 VCR (Composite) - use as a tuner for atari
2 Sega Saturn's 1 Jap + 1 US (S-video or Composite) I could sacrifice 1, but I use it for Netlink
1 PSX (S-video or Composite)
1 Goldstar 3DO (S-video)
1 N64 (S-video)
1 SNES (S-video)
1Gamecube (Component)
1 Wii (Component)
1 PS2 (Component)
1 Xbox (Component)
1 Dreamcast (VGA)
1 Atari 2600 (Coax)
That's just what I have as of today. I'm in the market for a PS3, and 360 for consoles and considering purchasing a tivo and service for HD content.
Dvi's and VGA are fine direct to TV, it's the others I am more concerned about.
Posted 03 November 2007 - 07:29 PM
Edit: I think this is a dif. model VSX-1017TXV-K
It appears that the receiver has 5 Svideo, 5 Composite, and 3 component, in addition to the 2 hdmi ports.
It appears that the receiver only up converts to component output, or will it up convert over to HDMI?
Edited by EverestX, 03 November 2007 - 07:34 PM.
Posted 04 November 2007 - 04:38 AM
But you're right, the 1017 only upconverts to component. Not really a big deal if you are using the component ins on your TV set anyway. There is a nice Yamaha that upconverts all signals to HDMI, but it's $1000, and also it only converts to 1080i/720p. No 1080p (only 1080p passthrough).
There's an Onkyo HERE that upconverts all signals to HDMI (analog signals to 480p, digital possibly to 1080p) and the price is right, under $350.
I'm sure you have other options too, but a good upconverting receiver is definitely the first step in eliminating some of those switchboxes and the mess of cables.
I too have a bunch of devices. Somehow I've managed to manage with one A/V switch and my receiver.
Xbox: Component/Optical
Xbox360: VGA/Optical
PS2: Component/Optical
Wii: Component/RCA
DVD: Component/SPDIF
DirecTivo: S-Video/Optical
FTA PVR: Component/Optical
"Workbench" (temp devices): Composite/RCA
I ended up having to get a pricey component switch that does Toslink and doesn't have problems with 720p/1080p. I know twistedsymphony has been there
Let us know how it plays out. There are good A/V folks with a wealth of knowledge here!
Posted 05 November 2007 - 04:53 AM
Is there any compelling reason you need to keep your PSX hooked up since you have a PS2? Similarly is there any compelling reason you need to keep your Gamecube hooked up since you have a Wii?
You said you have 2 Saturns... I assume you're netlinking the two together? otherwise I don't see any good reason to have more than one hooked up at the same time
Do you use the VCR for anything but a tuner for the atari? if not I'd suggest getting a component or S-video adapter, failing that a small stand-alone RF modulator will serve you much better than a VCR.
Final question... the 360 you'll be getting, do you plan on run HDMI, VGA, or Component, or do you even have a preference. Similarly the PS3 will you be running HDMI or component with that?
Now we can consider Composite and S-Video to be essentially the same video type. you can switch between them easily with a cheap adapter if need be and any GOOD switch that supports 1 will support them both.
Also we didn't talk about audio channels...
what does your receiver and TV offer for audio inputs? Does your receiver accept optical/coax SPDIF?
Posted 05 November 2007 - 04:28 PM
The saturns are a dif. story, 1 of them is a jap saturn and 1 is us. I use the US for netlink games as it lets me play my originals, to play Netlink games on the other I will have to J patch all my ISOs. Not only that the card slot is very picky on my Jap saturn and can be a real PITA to swap AR/Mem card/Netlink out of.
The VCR has limited use, It's my only means of palying Rikki-tikki-tavi (I cant find it on DVD!) and as a tuner. I have looked around at local elctronic stores but they do not seam to have an adapter that will go from Coax to RCA. They only seem to cary RCA to Coax for adapting old tv's. In all honesty, I would like to ditch the VHS player.
ps3 and 360 will be HDMI. Plugged in through hdmi > DVI connectors.
My reciever is going to be replaced. It offers only 1 Coax in and no SPDIF support as it was built is the mid 80's. I found a Denon AVR-687 (Cheap! $140 Open box) that looks like a nice replacement but it has no HDMI, so I may look at a higher model, or similar range Onkyo/HK's.

Unless you want to front the money on a stand alone scaler for your S-Video devices I think the only thing were going to do here is find a solution to ensure that everything is organized and no signal gets fed through more than 1 switch.
For the 2600 if you're not adverse to soldering you can try any of these S-Video mods here: http://www.cheeptech.../2600mods.shtml
On a budget I'd go with Ben Heck's mod, or if you can front the cache the best solution goes for ~$150ish installed. That all depends on how much you play your 2600. If you're against cracking the case open then you can go to radio shack and buy an "RF Modulator" to convert the coax to S-Video... it wont be sold as a converter or adapter they're called RF modulators and they're sold as such... I saw 5 different models for sale when I was in radio shack last week.
Now you never told me if the DVI ports on your TV were DVI-I or DVI-D and that has some bearing on the next part....
For your DVI/HDMI devices I recommend picking up one of these switches:
If your TV has DVI-I then you could pickup a cheap VGA/DVI adapter for the Dreamcast and run it through the same switch Otherwise I'd suggest plugging the Dreamcast directly into the TV's VGA port.
I'd also recommend getting a Psyclone PSC01 switch.
it's a 4 port switch and can handle component, composite, svideo, stereo rca, optical and even network (though I find network rather useless).
You can hook up your Wii, PS2 and Xbox here... also since it's got both Component AND S-Video Connections you can double up on each of the ports meaning that you could put 4 of your S-Video devices on this switch as well.
Assuming you have at least 5 S-Video inputs on your new Receiver you can use it for the remaining S-Video devices.
I would also recommend purchasing a harmony remote to manage all of these devices... they may seem expensive but I found it to be money well spent. the 360 specific remote is quite nice because it's the only one with ABXY buttons making it handy when using with consoles such as the PS2, PS3, Xbox 1, or Xbox 360

Funny you should mention that web page however as the guy recomends the Svideo switch I have HERE
Tv is Dvi-D.
I'd like to thank you guys for helping to answer a lot of my questions!
