I current have a PS2 and an Xbox. I am try to get a dreamcast but I have one problem. My PS2 in on the RCA cables and my xbox is on RFU, so how do I hook up a 3rd system w/o having to switch cables. If possable I would like to avoid a system selecor cuz there ugly and take up space.

Is it possable to have one RFU hooked to another RFU if one is set to channel 3 and one to channel?

BTW my tv doesnt have S-vidoe so thats out

yea, i think its safe to have 2 RFUs. i used to have 2 RFUs with my snes and genesis, i think. and i never had problems. just make sure you dont have them both on at the same time.

You really should go with a system selector and run the RCA jacks for each of your systems.

RF is kinda "eh" if you have RCA inputs.

And you don;t want to use spliters because it will give you a crappy signal.

SYSTEM SELECTOR.

They are pretty small.

you can also get a big one if you plan on having even more consoles.

Definately go with a Selector Switch. The RF connection gives you a worse resolution than even the Composite cables (RCA cables colored yellow, red, and white).

Besides, with your current set-up, why are you using your XBox on RF and not your Lamestation!? :confused:

first off all i dont like the system selectors plus its just more money I dont have :rolleyes:

and as far as the xbox on the rf the reason why is because I dont care, oh and also I happen to like my PS2 and much as my xbox ;)

i would go with the system selecter. You can get them for a decent price nowdays, so it shouldn't break your budget.

I got the one pictured on the posts above for $12 at Kmart. Great investment I must say.
