upgrade opinions...reciever or tv?
ok, I am definately getting into HD/BD. my tv is a Toshiba Cinema Series 57HX93 and only has DVI. the thing is, my tv still has around 2.5yrs. left on my warrantee and really don't want to toss that out the window. I asked a bit about this in another thread but figured I shouldn't contaminate that thread with completely off topic talk. now I'm also using a Pioneer VSX-1014 which doesn't have enough inputs for my complete A/V setup without some trick wiring. I would like to upgrade to the Denon AVR-4806. I was thinking that I could upgrade my reciever to the Denon and I could possibly use an HDMI to DVI cable to send the signal to the tv(correct?). the Denon would give me enough inputs for everything I have as well as enough if I added both HD/BD to my system. would this be a better way to go for the moment?
EDIT: entered wrong reciever model number. now the correct model number is listed. of course the reciever would cost just as much as a new tv but I'm trying to maximize my money at the moment.

I wouldn't upgrade your receiver until equipment supporting the new audio formats is released. The Denon may have multiple inputs, but it will only do DD and DTS at best. Hold out and wait for the next gen receivers comes out, save your cash and grab a switch box.
