What's the best AV Receiver I can buy for $1000-$1200? - multi-zone hdmi

I have a DirecTV HD DVR, Blu-Ray, XBOX 360, video recorder and a Pioneer Plasma HDTV (1080p) and want a new AV receiver with at least 3 HDMI with upconversion down cover mission very well. Would you complete comptabible iPod, satellite radio and the ability for multiple zones. Thank you for your help!
