Fiber optics coming need new AVR (1 Viewer)

[mbw66]

Greetings from Mexico. After 11 years of living in an Internet wasteland, with service being below 2 mg download, making streaming a 50/50 opportunity at best, our area south of Guadalajara is getting fiber optics. Around 50 mg download!
So upgrading from my Onkyo HT R391 is a better option, given that none of the HDMI inputs work, repairing is a costly endeavor. Speaks came with the R391.
So looking to spend from 500 to 1200 USD for a new AVR that:
1. Is from a reliable company that provides service in Mexico. Sony has a center in Guadalajara, all others in Mexico City
2. Can withstand power surges, brownouts during the rainy season, dusty environment during the dry season. Yes we have voltage regulators, surge protectors
3. Has the necessary capability to take advantage of streaming now/foreseeable future. Currently, have Roku 2 which delivers sound to the Onkyo via an HDMI extractor, then sending video via HDMI to an Epson projector. Dish receiver sends sound via optical, video via composite. Then via composite video to the projector.
Thanks for comments, help.

No receiver is really designed to handle bad power. What I suggest is a protection unit, like something from Panamax that will instantly shut off the power to the receiver if it varies outside a limited range. That's probably the only way to really protect it. Worst case, you fry the Panamax, but save the receiver. Can you get a Dish receiver with an hdmi output?

I agree with @JohnRice - Where I live, I also deal with recurring power issues, which is why I added the Panamax PM 5300 to my arsenal years ago. In your particular environment however, I would consider the higher priced PM 5400 since it includes voltage regulation.

Thanks for lead on the Panamax, I can get via Amazon Mx or Amazon US, pricey, but I need protection for Dish 722, AVR, Epson Projector. And I can probably power for computer other side of wall, modem/router and printer as well.
Yes my Dish receiver has HDMI out.
So recommendations on a AVR?
