I use the 1050 and have Component video hooked up to my HDTV. I do not switch it through my receiver, but rather, send the
video directly from the DVD player to the
TV. Since in my case,the only source of component video is my DVD player, this is
practical in my application. If I had another source, e.g. satellite or broadcast sources, then I'd not have an acceptable situation.

All my other vid sources are switched through S-video. I am completely satisfied because this meets my needs. Switching is there because many have various sources among which they wish to switch. If this is true with you, the 1050 may be a tad inadequate. The switch is where you have the bandwidth issues, not the wire.
