You might be able to go HDMI from the TV to the receiver...as an alternative to coax.
I think the receiver would have to have a OTA tuner to accomplish that.You might be able to go HDMI from the TV to the receiver...as an alternative to coax.Nothing "improper" about your setup.
I finally took a step into the HDTV age and ordered a new TV to replace my 36" Sony Wega. As I feared, taking this step also required me to get a new receiver, and of course I threw a blu-ray player into the order as well. Now that everything is en route, I discovered that the receiver doesn't have an antenna/RF input. I don't have cable -- just a nice antenna with which I get more than enough channels to make myself happy. The TV I ordered (LG 55LW6500) can accept the coax from the antenna, but I would really like to set everything up "properly" by routing everything directly into the receiver and then just having the one HDMI output to the TV. As it is now, it looks like I'll have to route the antenna direct to the TV and then run coax digital audio to the receiver. Maybe that will work just fine (?), but I'm sure controlling everything will be less efficient. Is there a way to adapt/convert the coax from the antenna directly into the receiver in a way that won't degrade the quality any?For reference, the receiver is the Yamaha RX-V571, and there is a high-res photo of the back of it here: http://www.productwiki.com/upload/images/yamaha_rx_v571.jpg
just run an optical cable from the tv to the receiver, problem solved. you shouldnt have any signal degradation, nor lag, plus the 5.1 tv shows/movies will be in dolby.
You know what I would fear more than anything? Having to move that dam Wega lol.. I had to sell my wega for $50 just to get someone to pick it up and move it 250lbs is nuts...
You can do it by routing everything HDMI to your reviver or what I do is send audio to the reviver and HDMI to the tv and use a universal programmable remote that has multi function abilities like the Logitech products. And I press a single button and everything is roughed the way I want .

Yeah, I'm fully prepared to give it away on Craigslist if I can't find a family member to take it. The thing is unbelievably heavy and just about impossible to get a good grip on it to lift it, even with a couple of people.Quote from: Church-AudioYou can do it by routing everything HDMI to your reviver or what I do is send audio to the reviver and HDMI to the tv and use a universal programmable remote that has multi function abilities like the Logitech products.
