component video switching? bandwidth issues?

65.129.37.30

currently I have two component video sources but only one component video input on the monitor, so i have to do a cable disconnect/reconnect when switching from DVD video to HDTV receiver video.

so i'm fishing around for a wideband switch...I see the Denon AVR5803 receivers claim 50kHz of bandwidth for their component video circuits (in their dreams) but is even that enough? What's the point of spending a fortune on magic video wire if it goes through a dozen or so cheap cold-soldered joints and has to jump a bunch of switches, gaps and connections inside a dusty appliance box?

does anyone know the specs of their HT preamps/processors/receivers?

i'm thinking i need to call Faroudja about this...perhaps for 5 times the price of my TV they have a magic box that will do it...the horror...

also, the Sony HD100 satellite receiver has a 15pin Dsub output (SVGA) but the built-in scaler on the Pioneer can't seem to get it right (although the picture is great!).

anyone else concerned about attenuation of HD video signals when routed through the HT receiver/processor/preamps?

and another thing, what's the deal with RGB? nobody seems to want to switch an RGB signal...so why have it at all? is this a communist plot to sell us two superfulous video cables?

who's in charge here?
