I've got 4 devices outputing component video (DVD,PS2,XBOX, SAT) but only 2 inputs on the Ref 30. I've seen AudioAuthority switcher and Zektor switcher and was wondering if anyone has used them or had any input.

TIA

Aftermarket video game accessory makers such as Pelican and MadCatz make component video switchers that are high quality and have digital audio and ethernet switching as well. There are two problems, though. They're expensive, usually $100 and up (but cheaper than other AV switchers), and they are manual, in that they don't have a remote and to switch sources, you have to walk up to the box and push the desired source's button. I've read that later on, there will to switch boxes with remotes but they will be even more expensive.
