>>Is there some technical reason on screen displays from receivers/processors don't work with anything but S-video? What gives? I think I'm the only person on Earth still using S-vid for everything. And with a single input TV...

Huh ? Wha ?

Uh-oh, I didn't know this. I was helping my brother-in-law wire up his basement for a soon-to-be home theater and I figured we could run the OSD across the component cables. We ran a spare coax so I guess worst case we could run the OSD across composite (like I do today, my TV having been built before the introduction of S-video ) but this is a problem.

Related question then, if you have a TV or projector and have to run multiple inputs to it (eg. HDMI + component +...) do you have to manually switch the projector or do they have some kind of "gee, I only have signals on one connector so I'll switch to that one" capability ?
