Best home audio receiver for 2 zones

Been looking at the Yamaha RX-V677 7.2 receiver.
I've been reading a little about it and came to some confusion.
I'd like a TV inside with 5.1 and a TV outside with just speakers in the patio ceiling.
I'd like to be able to play whatever I want on TV inside, and have the sound to go with it. At the same time, I'd like to be able to have something different outside, with its associated sound.
Not a must but I'd also like to be able to play the sound from inside on the outdoor speakers as well, but have the TV on different things. Such as 2 football games with music playing on all 7 speakers, or the sound from the inside TV playing outside.
So my question is, will this receiver be able to do the above tasks?

I know we talked IRL about this, but wanted to post this info for anyone others who have the same question.
I'd look at any of the recent Yamaha RX-V700 series that have come out over the last few years (latest is the 779 on Amazon, but they still have 777, 775 and 773). They all seem to support 7.2 Zone 2 audio (two different audio inputs to each zone) and Zone B HDMI, which has two HDMI outputs for you to essentially play the same thing on two different TVs (with the respective 5.1 and 2.1 channel sound).
I could be wrong, but to do different Audio and Video, you'd need more than one receiver. Also I don't think it's possible to play different audio and video inputs at the same time. If it is, that's pretty damn sophisticated and you would definitely be over $1000 on a very high end receiver or additional components.
Or just man up and buy a bunch of Sonos components. You're only young once.
