Hi petew, about switching component video signals. This is not new technology, and is actually quite cheap, even up to 100's of MHz of BW. All that's required is for the manufacturer to use it. Current AV receivers seem to do it OK. I have a cheap one, and it switches component video without degradation, as far as I can see. The switching is sufficiently good that I returned the "free" pair of component video cables I had thrown in when I bought the DVDP a few days ago (for a credit even, I am a cheap bastard) since I only have one component source, and don't really need the switch. However, using a switch can't possibly result in better quality than without a switch, it's just how visible any degradation is to you.
