Thanks for your response. I think I will wait for the 976 (late spring) and then call Outlaw to answer specific questions. In the meantime I will physically switch my current hdmi cable from the bluray cable to the TIVO and back as necessary.

Can I use the 2 hdmi outputs of the 976 to send each one either the bluray or TIVO signals? Will the new unit do a better job of forwarding signals to the overhead projector with its long cable run than the Marantz? When I originally set up the Marantz SR5005 I called Outlaw concerning the weakened signal and their response was they could not guarantee anything over 15-20 feet. I purchased an expensive 35 foot hdmi cable and there still was signal loss.

Only when went directly from my Bluray to the projector did signal loss problems end. Will I have better luck with the 976?
