+1. I've seen them up to 24 positions, and it probably goes higher than that.

search for 'video switch box'.

There are even instructables on how to make your own -- if you are using old style rca connectors its very easy. To switch between rca and newer digital signals (dvi/hdmi) then it becomes a LOT more difficult.

You can also CASCADE those switchboxes, so if you have 3 4 input boxes, you can have one box select WHICH box you want to input from, then on the 2nd and 3rd box you connect your 8 inputs.
