OK, now this brings up a question, why run the video thru the receiver? Why not just go straight from the component to the TV?

My current setup is Standard Def TV going through an 8 year old JVC Receiver to a 1080i TV. I will not be upgrading the TV anytime soon, so 1080i receiver is fine. In fact, most of my viewing will continue to be standard def. I still have an old series 2 TiVo which will stay in service for a long time, so any recorded TV will continue to be standard def for the time being. The extent of my HD watching will be the occasional HD on demand through my cable box, live football through the HD channels and I will be purchasing a cheap Upconverting DVD box. Eventually I *will* be getting a PS3 for Bluray disks, but that is not high on my list. Assuming the receiver will be upconverting the signal from the TiVo even if it's a "bad" upconvert it can't be worse than the 480i I'm watching in already, can it?
