Bruce' FPV Diversity Controller project

Hi Bruce... I know you strive to keep the costs of these projects at rock bottom so all can play, however did you consider incorporating any better checking on the video signal other than checking RSSI level?
eg. "Mr. RC-Cam" 'floated' an idea to make use of a Maxim loss-of-sync alarm IC (SOT23) "in under 5mS". Single unit price around $3 I believe.

Perhaps there's an even better / cheaper part?
Just spit balling... design is way out of my league!
Edit: Oh... just watched the vid. To late, no room. Perhaps for a later version?
