Dennis,

Because when I added DSS it took over the audio INput I had my TV audio OUT connected to. The Sony AMP I use combines DBS with TV. One or the other, and not both.

When I move it all to my new house, I'm going to study the connections one more time. I could of course use a VCR as tuner and let the amp play the audio, but that's just one extra piece of equipment on that I shouldn't need on.

It's OK, though. Most of what I receive over the air is poor stereo if any. I only watch for local news and the occasional network show that I can't find on DirecTV.
