Hi,

I'm trying to find a switch box with 4 coax inputs and one or two coax outputs.

Who can help?

I have also seen a 4 input 2 output TOSLINK switch with
remote control for around $50 on E-bay. While this isn't
coax, many digital audio connections have the option to
run either coax or fiber-optic.

Ok, finally I bought the ZEKTOR DVS5.1 and the device is really
transparent, inaudible switching between inputs and even programmable!
great, comes at a price though... but worth every penny.
