Switcher question

[HaloUK]

Hello all,

I have a VM 350 connection on a hub 3. The Virgin router is upstairs with the PC,
I need a switcher to hook up to my TV, AV amp, Shield, Blueray player. These are downstairs.
I have some powerline network adaptors and will be plugging the switcher into that.

I would like an 8 port switch, 1gb ports. I guess the most important part is nice fast streaming from my PC to the Shield.

There are so many options out there, managed, unmanaged. What would you suggest?

Many thanks.

Thanks Sparkx. So an unmanaged switch.... ok. I know FA about setting these things up so could be fun. Is it not worth going for say a Nighthawk gaming switcher? Overkill? Are managed switchers no good? Sorry, I am a noob when it comes to networking.
