Okay, I'm trying to get it so I can have multiple Inputs (DVD, Wii, Cable Box, PS3) in one box so I don't have to change all the time. (the cable is fine by itself, I go to AV mode to get the Wii, PS3, and DVD), but the box I got seems to get no signal to the TV. I am currently using an S-video cable to get it to work but when in "AV" it still won't work. (the reason it is on AV is because that is the only option left once I change the cable to the splitter box)

Um, it depends what you do with the Splitter Box to make it show the one system D:

If you have to flip a switch through the splitter box to make one of them work, do so.

Can you show us what you mean by a splitter box?

My old one from Radio Shack was you simply plugged in the AV in the back of it, plug some sort of Cable Cord into it and the TV, then press the button of the AV you want D:

Um...

So how do you switch AV?

This makes me confused -_-

by pressing "Input" on a t.v. remote

I am switching from the TV component (my cable box) to tbe TV's AV option to let me play DVD's, Wii, etc. Problem is I want all on one box so I don't have to change cables all the time. Problem is, we are getting no signal from the splitter box from our S-cable running from the splitter box to the TV

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. It has four inputs and output (just press 1=4 depending on which one you want), but for some reason the TV won't get a signal from the splitter box. Currently using an S-video cable from the output to the tv. I still don't see what the problem is.

Gotcha.

I can recommend one of two things...

1. Try putting the side of the S-Cable that's in the box into the TV and vice-versa...
2. Get a new S-Cable.

If an S-Cable is what I'm thinking of, both sides look the same, correct?

yes, it shouldn't matter which way is on the tv and which one is on the box...at least I don't think it should...
