Sorry, I wasn't clear about what the 970 can do. There's no law against it, but so far very few components have included transcoding from component to DVI - so you are allowed to as far as Hollywood is concerned, but the technology to do it at a reasonable price without degrading picture quality isn't quite here yet. The 970's DVI switching is completely independent from the rest of its video switching. You'll need to switch your display between DVI and component inputs. Sorry about that...
