A/V Processors, What are we waiting for?

I am looking for an A/V processor or splitter that will keep up with HDMI and HDCP and also give me multiple toslink and coax inputs that will also allow me to bi-amp. I know that 1080p is the next big thing so at least an ability to receive this would be nice.

I want to be able to run my Satellite, DVD (perhaps with 1080p ability), and computer to at least two zones. It would be nice to have an analog passthru and a pre-out.

I suspect that this is not available yet. Or is it?

Audiooracle: thanks for the tip on the Anthem D2. You need to work on you web page. Still, with your lead I was able to go over to a couple of interesting threads on AVSFORUM.COM

The Anthem home page was not of much value. This seems to be a good unit, expecially if I want a first-rate scaler. I already own a NEC 50XM5 which has a really good internal processor so I might lean more toward Cenematic's suggestion.

Cenematic: Do you suggest any unit in particular?

I have been reading up on both Anthem and Matrix. Both would work for me, at least for now. This HDCP handshake thing is a bit disconcerting. Since it seems that I can only send a HDCP signal to one source at a time it looks like I will be running a whole lot more component cable than I thought. Also, I will be running conduit anywhere I can for future upgrades.
