An HDMI switch shouldn't introduce any error. The signal is digital and as long as the digital repeater doesn't do anything dumb no loss in signal quality should occur. That being said, some switchers don't always allow proper negotiating of the HDMI enabled equipment, thereby preventing or reducing HDMI specific features.
I would think to just save your money for a better receiver. Don't spend your money on a switcher if you anticipate a new receiver purchase in the next year. The Onkyo TX-SR605S Silver at OneCall is currently $399. It has received great reviews and has HDMI 1.3 capability.
