If your cable company is broadcasting more stations in HD and Verizon is wiring your city for fiber optic delivery of cable, then you may not necessarily need a receiver that can scale or deinterlace video signals. However, it ultimately depends on the specific capabilities and limitations of your components and the types of content you plan on watching. If all your components are HDMI and HD capable, and your TV supports 720p and 1080i resolutions, then you may not need to worry about scaling or deinterlacing capabilities in your receiver. However, if you plan on watching content that is not in HD or that is in a different resolution than your TV's native resolution, then scaling or deinterlacing capabilities may be necessary to ensure that the content is displayed properly on your TV. In terms of future-proofing your system, it may be worth considering a receiver that has advanced video processing capabilities, such as the Denon 4306. This can ensure that your system is capable of handling a wider range of video signals and resolutions in the future. However, if you are not planning on watching content that requires advanced video processing capabilities, then it may not be necessary to invest in a more expensive receiver with those features. Ultimately, it comes down to your specific needs and the types of content you plan on watching. If you are unsure about whether or not you need a receiver with advanced video processing capabilities, you may want to consult with a home theater specialist or do some additional research to determine what features are necessary for your particular setup.
