I just upgraded to Sky Q and Sky engineer told me my Onkyo TX-SR875 was not Ultra HD compatible with Ultra HD. I’ve been really happy with the 8 years I’ve had with this receiver and am reluctant to change even for the benefit of UHD. That said are there any suggestions on what AV receive I should consider replacing it with?
Replacing Onkyo TX-SR875

I definitely wouldn't replace it. You won't get better for the same money you paid for that.Chapsno4 said:
I think the sky Q box has a digital (fibre optic) output.
So simply hook the HDMI up directly to the TV and use the fibre optic to feed audio to the receiver. Job done.
Of course if that's all complete ball cocks (ahem) someone please correct me. I won't be offended...

I already thought about (and tried) that Benedict. The problem I had was I had to manually swap over the HDMI lead everytime I waanted to use my PS4.

I had the one below yours, the 805. I moved over to a Marantz and loved it. Far more musical than the Onkyo and great detail on movies.

Why? Does your TV only have one HDMI input? Seems unlikely with a UHDTV. if your TV isn't UHD why are you bothering? An old black'n'white telly only showed The Wizard of Oz in black'n'white no matter how much Technicolor you blasted it with, and the same applies with 1080p TVs and UHD signals, if they display at all. If you haven't got a UHD TV, I would upgrade your TV before the receiver, therefore.
Or am I missing something?
I have a Panasonic TX-55CX802. The issue is that I only have one HDMI channelled through the wall and am not keen on rechanneling for another HDMI cable or having it draping from the TV in view.
