Morning

Im after an audio switching box with at least 2 analogue inputs but with a remote control so I dont have to get my arse off the sofa to change it! Seen a few which are simple manual push button jobs, and seen some with optical connections and remote switching, but unfortunately one of my outputs doesnt have optical. Appears to be one or the other, but cant be that hard to get an analogue with remote.

Any suggestions?

We have one of these:

4 x HDMI + Optical Audio inputs with a single HDMI + Optical Audio output.

Not cheap but works a treat.

yikes

Not sure I can afford $250. Be easier to walk the 10 yards over to the TV and switch the dial on the amp round to a different input. hehe Also, it they're optical inputs that doesnt really help me, as one input doesnt have optical.

How about converting the analogue signals to toslink digital signals and then using a digital switch box with remote?
