Definitely run a search on this forum for the Onkyo 875 and you will see a lot of the issues that have been discussed in the last month with that receiver (largely the same with the 805) and certain video sources (the biggest and most painful issues were definitely around lip sync and audio delays with DirecTV equipment). I had the Onkyo on my short list until I educated myself here and ended up going with the Denon 3808.

It's supposed to arrive next week... and the Axioms soon thereafter, so I can't tell the final chapter of the story yet, just that I went through the same thing and ended up turning away from the Onkyo once I read the various opinions here.
