You'll like this Trulink guys. He's one of us. He's a goodfella

The problem with tellies these days is that everyone wants a piece of them. Trulink can sort all that out.

I’ve never had such an awesome piece of technology as our new flat screen. But by a tragic irony, I can’t get near it. The problem is, there’s always someone plugging a gadget into the telly.

If I want to watch Goodfellas for the 100th time, I have to get in the queue behind my wife playing her Flip camera videos on the telly. Then there’ll be kids wanting to get on the DVD players, or the Blu-ray players, HD-DVD players, gaming consoles or the Virgin box.

Still, when they’re all out at school and work, and I’m at home, so I can cheer myself up by listening to Joe Pesci swearing and watching him shoot that kid off The Sopranos.

Just to make sure I don’t miss anything, as I wander between the office the kitchen the bathroom and the front door (“Got a package to pick up mate. They didn’t say what”) I like to plug every device humanly possible into the telly, so I can extend coverage to the entire home.

All you need is cable and an HDMI port to plug it into.

Ah. There’s a problem. There aren’t enough HDMI ports to plug all the cables into the TV. And it’s possible that

So now you can plug a cable into your telly and run that cable to wherever you want to place your other screen. In your bedroom, the garden, your office.

The beauty of this system is it achieves this without jettisoning any of the sound or picture quality.

It can only achieve this through its fiendishly clever compression techniques. When you relay sound and pictures from one screen to the other, sometimes you lose quality. “I can’t quite make out the picture: Who is that man hanging on the meat hook?”

If you have a TruLink 4-Port HDMI Selector Switch by CablesToGo however, you’ll know that it’s Tony Two Times who’s frozen stiff in the Meat Wagon.

You will understand why he was whacked, because the dialogue (where they explain that he’d been mouthing off about the Airport heist) will have been delivered with perfect clarity, even if you’re on the toilet for that bit.

As Joe Pesci’s blood seeps into the floor, you will find yourself marveling at the carpet detail, when you grieving over a Goodfella.

That’s the TruLink 4-Port HDMI Selector Switch for you.

But nobody calls him that. Some call it Tony 4 Port. Others know it as Jimmy 3D.
