OK folks, bear with me on this, I don't know the technical terms so googling hasn't helped me thus far.
An Audio/Visual system is in place, with audio seperate to video. Audio system is fine(for now, that question comes another day).
The current video system is a box with a four way scart input(sky/dvd/set-top/pc) and 1 video output. 4 tvs are connected to this 1 output.
What I'm looking for is a 'box' that will allow me to select what input goes to each output(obviously need 4(+) seperate ouput points). Does this exist?
Curretly removing desired tv cable and plugging directly into device. This is tedious. Any ideas?

I'm not sure I understand. What exactly are you trying to do and why? Do you have a scart selector box already? Have a look on this page
http://www.thatcable.com/category/Scart-Switch
I reckon you can get what you want if you buy a scart selector and a splitter. I hope it's nothing high end though as a lot of these boxes are quite cheaply made and you'll lose a good bit of quality. As I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do have a look on that page and see if you can come up with a configuration yourself for what you want.
That's of course assuming your outputs are scart?

4 TVs and I want to be able to choose what is on each at the press of a button.
For example, 2 tvs showing sky, one showing a pc feed and one a dvd. Then, at the flick of a switch(es) have all of them showing sky. Then maybe one of them back on pc etc.
The output is video(as in the yellow in y/w/r cable) The 4 are connected with 'T' connectors to a single output. Connectors are high quality, picture not affected.

Are you the guy from Sliver by any chance?! How far away are these TV's from each other?
It might be possible but I don't think it's going to be easy. If you're using RCA cables and T connectors (are they the bayonet type?) it's a bit more complex than I thought, so I'd really need to see how it's set up. To do it by scart alone you'd need 4 switchers, 4 scart splitters and 16 scart cables for it to work, which isn't really a runner.

TVs are far enough away, not a domestic situation. All equipment/boxes are beside each other, except the TVs.
Not Bayonet, as I said, video pin connection only(as in 1 lead of RCA, not 3, TV's have no speakers, so no audio lead needed).

Ok, well then you'll need an RCA switcher instead of scart. Same principle applies though. To answer your question there's no "box" that I'm aware of that will do this for you but somebody else might have heard of one. As regards picture quality these boxes can cause a drop as there is a lot of crosstalk going on inside them. Just a word of warning.

No worries. I'd also look at matrix switchers too, you might find one that suits.

I remember them being at a show that I was working on a stand at about 5 or 6 years ago. They had a system where everything was wired back to a central point and worked off that.
