It's been a loooooong time since I've purchased a new receiver. I am in the process on installing a fireplace below my TV on the wall, and want to make sure I run enough cables through the wall the first time. So can I run all of my HDMI cables to the receiver, then just one HDMI to the TV? As it is now, my receiver doesn't have any HDMI ports, thus the confusion.
I don't believe I need more than about 4 or maybe 5 HDMI ports. 5.1 is fine I think. I'd like to stay in the $300 range. It would be really nice to have wireless speakers as an option too. Any suggestions?
I know Tigerdirect always has really good deals on electronics, so I may buy from there.
Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron
