Extremely important point. I ran 2x HDMI, got the basement finished, and while mounting the TV vfor the first time, snapped the end off BOTH HDMI cables. fun fact, HDMI is not field repairable by anyone, and my setup prevented fishing new cable. I was (and still am) fucking choked.

I had a similar issue. I have ended up using HDMI over ethernet. Works great with 4k 4:4:4 signal!

On my own dime/time I threw in a 2" conduit from the receiver and rack space to the TV, should be no cable issues there.

I need a receiver ASAP, mostly for the 4k pass through Dolby Atmos would be nice as well.

*Bump*

I'm getting my basement developed and had one room pre-wired for a 5.1.2 (Atmos) setup with either in/on wall speakers and a couple of in-ceilings, and a floor sub.
Other than the HDMI, the rest are just the raw cable ends sticking out of the walls that need terminating. Possibly looking to get a Denon AVR X1700H (with Audyssey) for a receiver, and LCR speakers in the $200-300 range, so nothing too high end.

Anyone got any reco's for an affordable independent installer?

I've gotten quotes ranging from $700 to over $1200 just for the installation, and of course, they want to sell you a lot of the gear as well.
