Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies. With respect to the OTA HD TV signal, that’s how I have it connected as well (i.e. antenna connected through coax to TV and optical from tv to AVR). It would just be a bit cleaner to have a single HDMI going to the tv from the AVR, even though it’s 5.1 channel regardless.
I’ll keep my eye out for that Onkyo – the Onkyo TX-NR609 was on my short list, as was the Denon AVR-1912. Having said that, I’m not sure I need so many bells and whistles (e.g. airplay, network access, etc.) because the HTPC will do most of that for me.
Should I be looking at more basic units that have decent power on tap and current 1.4 HDMI switching but lack the other stuff?
Also, is there a t.v. tuner in particular that people lean towards? Seems that many of them don’t output HDMI as the target market are people with old t.v.’s lacking tuners.
