Best way to hook too many old consoles to a TV? (sh.itjust.works)

Howdy.

I set up all of my old game consoles for fun, and feel like there must be a better way. I have an NES on the antenna connector (RG6?), about eight consoles on composite (Y/R/W), and four or five on HDMI. I still have my old school Composite switch, but I need more inputs, and it would be nice to be able to use the TV remote instead of getting my old bones up. My TV has two or three HDMI ports but I need a few more.

Do I just need an RF adapter, a bigger Composite switch, and some kind of HDMI switch, or is there another option I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

You can get A/V switches with remote controls. The one i have takes rca, pcbr and hdmi and they all operate independently so you have 12 different inputs! I just programmed it into my universal remote and use a soundbar.

Hdmi splitter puts HDMI audio to OPTICAL, rca hooks to a 3.5mm cable that hooks into the ANALOGUE on the soundbar.

For older tv tuner stuff (Atari 2600) i run it through my VCR
