Is it necessary for connections to be consistent in order for them to work? Would the connections from a DVD player to a reciever to a television all need to be component in order for the component connection to work? Not that it makes sense to do this, but is it possible to run DVD to...

I was under the impression that Tivo recorded the programs without commercials. Is this incorrect, or do I have to change a setting or something?

Just to close this issue, it does work. I got the reciever on ebay, hooked it up, called Dish, they activated it and I'm getting OTA HDTV with no HD fees to Dish.

What is an off air antenna and how does it work? Thank you.

I'm looking at this set as well. Rainbow effect??
