Just looking for a recommendation, if anyone has one, for a good component switch. Just got a nice hdtv setup and realized I'm looking to plug a billion things into it (technically 5, but I think 4 rgb and 1 hdmi - for now).

I don't know of anybody that uses a switch. In fact, few people have an HDTV compared to non-HDTV. Last time I saw a big HDTV setup with lots of devices, they used a receiver than handled the component switching, as well as composite and s-video. The HDMI went direct to the tv, the one they had.

Yeah, I'm going to put the HDMI directly into the tv when I get the board into the tv. I got a cheap switch from radio shack which works for everything but the cable box. When I plug that in I get wavy lines on the tv (no matter what is switched to on). Seems like there's a charge coming from the box, so I either have to get that board in fast (can't get the plate off for the moment) or find something to use an adapter.
