So to make it quick and to the point, Im looking to get a new receiver but don't understand exactly what I need to look for, Right now I have my 2 PS3's , hooked directly to my TV VIA HDMI, and my Satellite is hooked up to the tv with component cables.

To get surround sound I have my PS3 hooked up to my Receiver with digital audio cable. My other Blu and my Satellite box is hooked up to the receiver with plaiin RCA cables for 2 channel sound.

So my question is this, If I get a new receiver, they HDMI connect directly into the recever? how does that work with getting a picture to the tv?! totally confused.

Loooking to spend no more than $400 for a decent receiver that can get 5.1 currebtly and possibly expand to 7.1.
