I have a lot of devices plugged into my TV, so bought a Mad Catz switcher for the consoles.

Since starting to use it, I've found that the Gamecube, 360 and Xbox all seem OK, as does the DVD player, but the PS2 has developed a fuzzy picture and a terrible humming noise under the sound.

I've tried a spare cable and the problem persists. I'd test it without the switcher but that would mean a massive rearranging of furniture to get at the back of the TV and I really can't face that

Is it likely the problem is the swithcer, bearing in mind that everything else plugged into it is fine?

The problem is probably caused by interference from a digital signal. It might be a bad ground, or it might be poor shielding. You may want to isolate the PS2.
