Thanks for the link! They had a holiday sale, and there sold out off that receiver. I was searching other posts and saw that you suggested a Sony STR-DG810 to someone else. I found this

and judging by things I've read about the receiver, it seems to me like a really good price. Would I be getting scammed by buying this?

Powerseller with 36543 feedback score - you should be fine. Just remember that there will be duty and tax and they ship UPS which will generally also have an assload of fees on top of that (depending on the UPS delivery method)

I didn't even consider duty and taxes! Thanks for the heads up, back to the drawing board.

Are all 7.1 receivers HDMI audio/video capable receivers?

keep in mind the 810 is only 5.1 PCM capable.

The 810 is discontinued, replaced by the 820

Also, beware of receivers that claim "HDMI pass thru". This is video only, you need to connect audio via optical ... not good!

that one looks pretty nice... less than 300 for a future 7.1 system
