sat box: att/uverse ISB7005
receiver: Pioneer elite vsx-59txi

Well ^this is your main problem. Start budgeting for a modern AVR with multiple HDMI inputs.

Meanwhile, you can get away with it, IF your TV has multiple HDMI inputs, and the trick is... have your TV do the video switching and the old receiver do the audio switching. So for example, you will:

DVD player (HDMI) ---------> TV.
DVD player Audio -----------> Old receiver.

Yes, you will have to push more than one button on your remote to do the bidding, but that's child's play for a universal with macro capability.
