DIY HDMI Matrix Switcher - Sanity Check

I would LOVE to drop HDMI and go with component, however that would mean finding a solution to the HDMI-only output of the AppleTVs (don't recommend Sage, just sold it all) and giving up certain DirecTV and Blu Ray content that is only offered in 1080p and not available over component (yeah, I know that component CAN do 1080p, I also know it's not ALLOWED through DTV and BR - Thanks Hollywood...) Besides that the AppleTVs have a VERY high WAF.

You could always look at the HDFury (http://www.hdfury.com/) which can convert the HDI output of those devices to component video without loosing any of the programming. It's not super cheap, but it is cheaper than placing an Apple TV behind every TV.
