Check Radio Shack and assorted places for stand-alone video switchers. It's an extra button press, but it also beats blowing a lot of money on the 950/770 when you don't need the power and features.

There will probably be an update to the 1050 sooner or later, but who knows when. The Outlwas have only said that it probably won't be too soon; they have other priorities such as the 950 and their internet tuner to worry about for now, and the 1050 is still selling well. We also have no assurances that the 1050's successor, whenever it appears, will have component video switching.

As of the information that we have now, I wouldn't wait for a component-video switching receiver from the Outlaws.
