I would think to just save your money for a better receiver. Don't spend your money on a switcher if you anticipate a new receiver purchase in the next year. The Onkyo TX-SR605S Silver at OneCall is currently $399. It has received great reviews and has HDMI 1.3 capability.
looking at the onkyo revieer it looks like i have one already. too bad its the old school one with 5.1 digital surround from sony lol. didn't realize these new recievers had hdmis now.

may i ask how a reciever difers from just a hdmi switch? does it enchance the signal or something? my reciever is used for extra ports, kareokee maching, speakers, etc.
