I currrently have a Phillips widescreen 55" hdtv ready tv which I bought approx. 1 year ago. It is the newer model type which is silver in color with the speakers below the screen. It is hdtv ready but I have no hdtv receiver yet. What I have connected to it is a tivo/directv combo unit and a regular dvd player (non progressive). What I am asking for is advice on upgrading my current setup. I want to be able to view hdtv programming and progressive dvds. What do you recommend? I hear tivo is coming out with a tivo/directv/hdtv combo receiver at years end and sounds like that would be a good choice for me, anyone know approx value of this? As for dvd player I would like a progressive dvd player with am/fm tuner to be able to listen to radio, which do you recommend? Also I know many of these setups come with 5 speakers, but do I really need that since I already have speakers connected on tv? Also if i just bought the dvd/tuner receiver and no speakers and connected to my tv speakers, would my tv have to be on to listen to am/fm tuner? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks..
