They make component video switchers now, but I don't know if they will switch digital audio as well.
As for a receiver under 500 that has 3 (haven't seen more) component video inputs? Good luck. After a quick scan of a few online stores, they will run around 800-1k.

Your best best is to get a comp video switcher at Radio Shack.

No HDMI/DVI, unfortunately. It's an older model TV (which is why it was fairly cheap and why I was able to afford it).
Any brands for a component video switcher to look out for? |

And what kind of video distortion should I look for?
Here's one on eBay I found... any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/4-2-COMPONENT-VI...QQcmdZViewItem |

absolute BEST bet:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...onics&v=glance very solid sound, and you aren't going to find anything better for the money. I'd line it up against just about any home-theatre-in-a-box that costs 3x the $$. 3 component inputs as well~ -Fezzic

As a former Radio Shack employee (thank god for the former) as I am best aware they don't sell component video switches there, only composite.
As far as an amp or switch goes, here is what I would recommend that you go for with your budget in mind http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Pioneer-VSX-...QQcmdZViewItem This should accomodate all of your present needs as well as allow you some wiggle room for the future. It doesn't have any HDMI switching, but you don't have an HDMI TV. Any receivers that do start at 7-800 dollars currently. |

Here is thread over at the AVSforum regarding switchers:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...mponent+switch If you have a hometheater setup and want to use this as an opportunity to upgrade you're reciever you might check out the Denon AVR-2805. http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/...pno~470069.asp You might be able to find one cheaper on ebay or another site. |

Yamaha YHT home theatre systems (aka ht in a box) includes a high-powered amp w/ HD component ins/outs + fibre audio. I have a YHT 900... love it.
