A/V Processors, What are we waiting for?

I am looking for an A/V processor or splitter that will keep up with HDMI and HDCP and also give me multiple toslink and coax inputs that will also allow me to bi-amp. I know that 1080p is the next big thing so at least an ability to receive this would be nice.

I want to be able to run my Satellite, DVD (perhaps with 1080p ability), and computer to at least two zones. It would be nice to have an analog passthru and a pre-out.

I suspect that this is not available yet. Or is it?

HDMI and HDCP-----how can you "upgrade" to a technology that doesn't work?

FYI: HDMI still does not operate at its original specification. A travesty that no one wants to talk about.

Just buy an outboard video processor/switcher...ideally a matrix switcher (2,4,8 zones if you like) saving you money and improving performance of your video and audio systems. Most video switchers can be synchronized to switch with your HT processor and multi-room systems very easily and their dedicated performance will likely meet or beat even the best video in an audio processor.

All make adequate switchers, all different enough that one may be perfect for you.
