Tried out an S-video "Y" connector but .....

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

.... as the warning on http://www.svideo.com/svideosplitter.html said, results not guaranteed.
Being busy at the moment (busy when retired? Yes, it happens) and also being a bit lazy I ordered that Y cable. Service was excellent and the unit arrived in Australia in a few days.
First attemt at plugging it in broke off one of the pins - bahhhh. So I did not avoid some fiddly soldering after all :-(
Anyway the results on one connection were not successful with a broad band of slightly different contrasting intensity spoiling the picture.
I have yet to try it in a number of different situations but guess the results are very dependent on what is the nature of the inputs are being parallel connected and whether or not they have some buffering in place.
