Scart splitter question

My tv, which I suspect is nearing the end of its life, has a four-way scart splitter in the back, but unlike others I've seen - which feeds directly from the already existing scart socket - this one is connected to the back of the tv via a plug that I can only describe as looking like an oversized telephone connector. It works perfectly, however, and allows me to utilize all my appliances - Sky, vcr, dvd, and another satellite receiver for the dish I have pointed at Hotbird - automatically and without having to flick any switches.

So my question is this: In that when I have to get a new tv, I'll have to buy a bog-standard scart splitter, are there any available that work in the same way, ie ones that I don't have to manually flick switches on when using my various appliances? I used to have one that had a button for each scart, meaning that when I wanted to use my dvd player (for instance) I had to select that scart by flicking the button. I can't bear the thought of having to go back to that curfuffle.

Yes you can buy scart spitters that don't need to be switched each time. Try looking for one that says "Non-Switched, RGB Support". I got mine from Amazon.

Hope this helps.
