that's the very issue that's making me crazy...i thought i could connect the HDTV tuner via the 15pin D-sub VGA input but the scaler freaks out, giving me a half-size image centered on the screen.so i though i'd use a video processor to do the input switching, but the video guy got confused--we spent over an hour pouring over circuit diagrams...he had me up to ~$7000 just so i could switch between two signals...i had to get out of there.
what i know now: there's not a single person anywhere who understands this video stuff...
not a single one

Pete,Maybe there is something I'm missing here, but aren't you going through a lot of trouble for something that (supposedly) has a fairly simple solution? That being a simple video component switching box - multiple component in -> single component out. Y'know... something like these:

While those models cost a few hundred bucks, that is still a heck of a lot cheaper than the scalers you've been looking at. I hear of people buying pretty cheap video switch boxes at Radio Shack that perform flawlessly (to the naked eye).
As I mentioned in another thread, my plan is to use a Pioneer 49TX receiver to do my switching with the Panny (component an otherwise). However, if I notice any degradation of component signals I plan to simply by a switcher.
