[mythtv-users] Connecting videogame console to frontend

[Richard Bronosky]

They are harder to find, but there is are switches that don't require
you to push any buttons.  The switch monitors the sources and switches
to the newest activated source.  This really takes the switch hassle out
of it.  Power on the xBox and it's on the screen.  Power it off and you
are back to MythTV.  Nice.
