Video Switcher

Can someone please recommend a decent quality video/audio switcher?
Ideally it would be composite video/stereo audio. Any source could be
fed to any recorder. Monitoring would be selected for any unit.
Obviously I'm not looking for a professional unit, but I hope there is
something ideal for home use.

Do you want manual or IR remote?

What country do you live in? USA? You can find nice 4 to 1 units on eBay.

Just pop down to RS or you other store and get one. A/V switches
aren't too complcated to get a poor one.

Be aware that the cheap Radio Shack AV switches will give you a slight
glitch when you switch. They really have no signal stabilization circuitry
built in - they're just a switch.
