I believe the company I bought it from had a 4 position switch available as well. Unfortuneately, I've no idea where I bought this box from. I remember doing a search for "SVHS switch", but I can't recall which company I ended up buying from. I just did a search on Google for ADB Switchbox, and came up with several companies that had similiar devices for around $20 US.
