No problems here, even hot switching the video. Maybe the particular player being used. I know my 980H is aimed more at the audio crowd - one nice feature is being able to kill the video entirely and reroute that processing power to the audio side.
What actually simplifies things a bit here is I use a completely separate system for video. There IS an interconnect between both systems, but I don't use it all that often. The only video on the audio system is for the HTPC and the Oppo player. That's just used for SACD and DVDa on that system, and the monitor is for the menus.
And ya ... the sKiZo thing ain't nuttin' new. My old road name. Folks found out I was Polish (hence the 'ski") and it wasn't long after they found out I was crazy, as in "zo" ... <G>
PS - had the license plate on the bikes for decades now ...
