If it has 11 power amps inside that'll be great, but if only 9 I still think I'll be looking at the Yamaha 3050 or Marantz 7010 (?)

Now clicky

It is a replacement for Onkyo TX-NR3030, so it will have 11 amps.

Cool, but from the pics I see it only ha HDCP 2.2 on three HDMI inputs. And I also still quite fancy using a 300 WPC Emotiva XPA3 for my FL, FR and centre channels, let the receiver power the rest.
Choices choices...

Can you post the link to the pics here? The NR3030 has HDCP 2.2 on all HDMI inputs, so I'll be surprised if that's not the case with the new model.

Cool, but from the pics I see it only ha HDCP 2.2 on three HDMI inputs.

The link that bigboss gave in the first post says, in its fourth paragraph, and referring to the TX-RZ810 and TX-RZ710 "Each of the above receivers offers a staggering eight HDMI inputs and two outputs, with one output meant for Zone 2 HDMI. All of these support 4K/60Hz with HDR, 4:4:4 color space, and HDCP 2.2."

So I'd be surprised - nay, astonished - if that were not also the case for the forthcoming top-of-the-range TX-RZ3100.

That's what I think I saw in the picture. Maybe the picture is a pre production mock-up, or just a ?ock-up, I dunno. It does seem a bit dim / penny pinching to enable the full HDR/HDCP2.2/every other Bell and whistle on just three inputs, but up until now, that's what Onkyo has been doing.

I can see where the confusion stems from. Bear in mind the pictures you're seeing is of the lower models (710 and 810), and their press release clearly indicates all support HDCP 2.2. So either the photo is wrong, or the press release. Onkyo hasn't officially released pictures of the flagship model yet.
