well.. i pulled the trigger.. ordered the outlaw 990 & the new radiient tech. 4 switcher, handles 1080p in and out, and is even HDCP certified and ready.. one of the only switchers that will work with my HTPC and cable connection. (comcast)

dvdo was not needed, no need for a scaler when im starting out in 1080p on everything.. made a couple of calls and bam found the switcher that works with my HTPC (cellar cinemas 696)

hopefully everything will come in soon and i will let you all know how its working out
