Default is it cheaper to buy a new receiver or get it fixed?

Today my rear channel started buzzing real badly. I changed it to
another speaker to make sure it wasn't the speaker. I got the buzz off
another speaker, so I know the channel is bad. Is that something I
should try to get fixed or would it be cheaper to buy a new one. It's
a JVC 8000 VBK, which has all I need, DTS, Dolby Digital, plenty of
inputs...

Before making any decisions, why don't you try and get a free or
relatively low cost estimate of what it would cost to repair your
receiver? For example, in my area, a well-regarded electronics
repairment will examine any piece of audio gear and give a repair
estimate for twenty dollars. If a repair is authorized, the $ 20.00 is
deducted from the actual repair price. This seems like a reasonable
approach to me.

Did you change the wiring? Some of your connections might have become
shorted or corroded.

Probably cheaper to get it fixed.

You won't know for sure until you get an estimate, but I suspect you'll come
in under $100.00.
