A/V "Grand Central Station"-type Receivers

[ChrisCoaster]

Since the late 80s, these have become standard as the heart of home
stereo/video systems where only separate components would do.

Current models have every type of input/output on them, from
RCA(composite) to ports labeled "digital", along with S-Video &
component. Every incoming video signal(from the cable/satellite box
to the gaming console to the DVD to the VHS to the Selectavision - you
get the point!) goes through this huge receiver before hitting the TV
screen or another A/V component.

What will happen to A/V receivers that are "late model"(bought between
2003 - 2006) on February 17, 2009 - as far as their ability to
distribute video to the required components in a modest home theater?
