Introducing the Yamaha RX-V861. For a mere $1,000, the RX-V861 provides yummy goodness like auto speaker calibration, multizone operation, HD video upscaling and deinterlacing, 1080p-compatible HDMI, and iPod compatibility all at 105 watts per channel.

Oh, and it's XM Ready with what appears to be XM Connect-and-Play (...not XM Mini-Tuner?). The RX-V861 also sports XM HD Surround. So you can rock out to XM Pops and Fine Tuning with six channels of digital full fidelity audio, powered by Neural Audio technology.

Available in May 2007.

Onkyo has debuted several new tuners today at a press event, including four tuners that support both Sirius and XM, and two new tuners that combined Sirius, XM and HD Radio capabilities in one.

The Onkyo T-4555P combines Sirius, XM and HD Radio in one for only $499. Gizmodo (who also happens to have a photo of the sexy little thing) says the T-4555P is scheduled to ship "soon" which sources tell us is much earlier than "later."

Meanwhile Engadget brings to light the Onkyo TX-SR575, TX-SR705, TX-SR805, and TX-SR875 tuners that all support Sirius and XM, as well as the top-of-the-line TX-NR905 which packs the Sirius/XM/HD Radio combo. Pricing ranges between $899 and $2099.
