For my $.02, I wouldn't worry about all of that "processing power." You have one HDMI and 2 component inputs for your tv. Let the tv do the video switching and upconverting. I don't think that you will be able to see any difference between HDMI and component, anyhow. As I recall, your tv is 1080I not 1080P.

In my setup, the tv does all the video switching between cable, satellite, dvd and vcr. It also does all the upconverting (exception: I do have the OPPO DVD set at 1080I). My receiver does all the audio switching and processing for surround. By the way, some of the boards have been reporting all sorts of problems with cable tv boxes and receiver HDMI.

I think that it is a mistake to expect your audio gear to do video functions. Just my opinion, however.
