Too many cables to my HDTV [HELP!] [Archive]

I'm looking for ideas or options for connecting a standard dishnetwork box (s-video or composite), DVD player (s-video or component) & Nintendo Wii (component).

Currently I have way too many damn cable running from my cabinet to the TV on the wall. I have tried to stuff them behind the fire place mantle but the mantle is barely able to hang on (brick).

I would like to reduce it to a thinner TV power cord, one HDMI cable, and RCA audio cable (don't have speaker system yet) while maintaining a reasonable budget between $50 and $100.

Any ideas? If someone can point me to a magic box that can hook all this up and spit out one HDMI I would be greateful. Thanks!

Go to an electronics store and buy an input switcher with a remote that supports RCA, component, composite, and HDMI?
