I am looking to upgrade my surround sound (5.1) from a really cheap philips system to something more modern with multiple HDMI , etc. I found this one: ONKYO TX-NR414 5.1-Channel 3-D Ready Network A/V Receiver http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6882120195 on sale a Newegg now for $199. It seems to have what I need, along with some extras like an iphone app and 2nd output for another room. I don't need anything awsome since my ears are going bad anyway!
Anything else in that price range or less that would be a better choice?
Does this look like a decent receiver?

I have always liked Onkyo receivers, and owned several, however most recently I purchased a TX-NR809. If you value the "network" functionality of the receiver, I can no longer recommend Onkyo. The control software is awkward, buggy, and the audio skips when streaming. Unless Onkyo DRAMATICALLY improves their network functionality, my next receiver will not be an Onkyo.
