Just a quick photo of all the junk that I replaced tonight with only 2 HDMI cables (and some creative cabling).

To be fair, this setup is entirely unfeasible without an activity-based, macroing remote control, like a Creston or  Logitech Harmony (We have a refurb’d Harmony 890 that I picked up for cheap a few years back) as there’s no rhyme or reason to how the various inputs are configured.

I still can’t bring myself to use the TV as the “central switchbox” the way Blake does, so audio is still direct (and Digital) to the receiver, which handles no video whatsoever.  I’m sure that 100% HDMI is the way of the future, but until Nintendo catches up and I splurge for an HDMI-aware receiver, I’m  just out of luck.
