Need a system selector from an online store with Canadian shipping.

Good morning! For xmas I upgraded to an utterly fantastic Harmony universal remote that has exposed a weakness in my AV setup:
The problem, not being apparent, is that my system selector - while works like a dream and has great little faceplate buttons - has no remote control input. So even with my Harmony I need to get up off the couch to push a physical switch.
Local stores seem bereft of any options, having whatever space they save for such products filled with MadCatz S-video switches.
What do I need:
- At least 7 inputs.
- All my gear runs on component and s-video. My TV doesn't take HDMI (it does DVI) so I don't really need that but I suppose I can use some adapters if it has it. But if it DOES have HDMI I hope to god it splits off the audio signal internally for routing to a reciever.
- I also the switched ethernet function of the current device and wouldn't mind continuing to do so, but this can be over come with an extra network device
- remote control input
- not cost two arms and seven legs.

The only device I could find that got even close to what you need, and it was component only, no svideo, was this
Podcast 0207: Sinking to new depths
Preview: Is Uncharted: Golden Abyss the Vita’s killer launch title?
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3: Macro-wreckonomics
not sure where from

Edit: I did have some interference issues with the Joytech. But none noticeable unless you were right next to the screen or tried to switch the signal to digital. My problems can be found here http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=54405.
It's the only component and HDMI switch I can find.
it's been superb for all my SD stuff
I suppose I'd be using a digital (hdmi) switch for HD sources
The interference is so minimal with component signals I didn't even notice it until I was literally less than an inch from the screen, unfortunately, it gets magnified by like 100 times if you try to upconvert the signal to digital.
