This is a situation where an ICBM with built-in switching (mentioned in earlier threads) would be a definite plus. Alternatively, a switch box before the ICBM would do, but that involves 24(!) interconnects...

As an additional request... one of the switch boxes out there has a built-in remote trigger. The guy wants $200 for it, which I'm sure some people will pay. Integrating that into the ICBM would add a lot of value to it, and I doubt they'd have to charge an additional $200 to break even. If the 950 or its successor had a programmable trigger it would make a great integration. Even better, the 950 would have an additional "input" that would select the 5.1 input and send voltage on the trigger, allowing complete integration. That way you wouldn't have to use up two unused inputs, as the guy suggests on his web page.

As to 12 interconnects... yeah, there is a discount. You get twice the discount as buying 6 interconnects.
