The HDMI/DVI switching in the 1070 is purely switching for the digital video inputs - there is no analog (composite/s-video/component) to digital (DVI/HDMI) video transcoding going on. Until you move to an HD DirecTV receiver (the only way I know of to get component outputs), the s-video is probably your best bet.
