The AVR-1913 will work for most people, but I get the feeling you're an enthusiast, so the AVR-2113ci or better will work for you.

If you're still using the StarChoice version of the DR500HD, there is a new version that Shaw Direct offers that outputs over HDMI. They'll let you trade in the old unit on an upgrade, I did that myself (before later moving to a building that wouldn't allow satellite dishes).

The Oppo DVD player is probably redundant with the PS4 supporting DVD playback, but I don't know if there's another reason you keep it around.
I'd just add that the new Denon receivers are labled E- 100, 200 etc and for higher end are X1000, 2000 etc. Good deals can sometimes be had with last years models though.

Here's a site with some sale prices on Denon and other home theatre receivers. If I was looking, I'd look at the E400 for value and price. I've dealt with this site once before and it worked out fine but they don't have the highest rep.

oh yeah with your components I'd look for a HD up-conversion receiver, which the E400 is. That site doesn't work well in Firefox, I guess the E400 isn't on sale.
