Insufficient Inputs

[Xerosese]

So I have this issue with monitors:

I don't have them.

 

I have a terrible Samsung 19in monitor that only has a VGA input, and a TV that has one set of component and one HDMI. 

 

I have a PC with one HDMI, one DisplayPort, and one thunderbolt. 

I have an XBOX 360, a PS3, a GameCube, a PS2, and an HDMI Cable box.

 

At the moment, the PC is connected to the monitor by a VGA-HDMI adapter, the PS3, XBOX 360, and another computer are connected to the TV by this: http://a.co/ht3OdyK (which is taped to the wall), and the Gamecube and PS2 are connected to the TV by this: http://a.co/8kig6ES (which doesn't work).

 

 

 

Is there any remotely feasible way to have all of them connected such that I don't have to constantly swap cords?

Will the PC still be connected to both the TV and the monitor? (It's connected to the monitor atm)

If possible, is there any way to allow the consoles to stream to twitch?

you can get a Tuner... AKA a reciever.  that will aggregate all the signals into one connection from it to your display.  you plug all the things into it.

I would look at getting an actual A/V Receiver that will convert your analog to digital HDMI.

Plug all your consoles and computer into the Receiver> HDMI Out of the receiver> HDMI capture device (elgato or whatever)> HDMI on TV

You can still have your computer output to your other monitor directly as a second display.

Any suggestions on a receiver that could take in all five inputs? I know the consoles can all run component if absolutely necessary, but the PC cannot.

Honestly, if you arent like super ultra hardcore into audio of video quality.  Buy the one that has the features you need, and costs the least.

 

In the states, BestBuy would be a good starting point.  They have a wide variety of models with differing inputs and outputs.

A quick Google brought me here:

There are def better deals to be had.  Especially if you dont mind used.  These things are basically bulletproof.

Just going to point out that the price of buying either a receiver capable of handling those inputs, or the individual components needed to convert them separately, would almost certainly be greater than the price of just buying a TV/Monitor with most of the inputs you need an adapting the rest. That being said, if you can find a decent receiver with a competent analog to digital scaler, it's most likely the best solution. 

 

edit:

For example, you could get an HDTV with both HDMI and component/composite inputs, then get a component/composite switch and an HDMI switch, and hook everything to the TV. Monoprice makes decent switches, and you can get versions with IR inputs to switch them remotely.
