Well, if they plug in with an HDMI, you ought to be able to plug that into your AV system instead, right? I think I've got the opposite ATM: the TV is the switcher for video input, with the AppleTV/XBMC as one source, the cable box as a second, and analog jacks running from the VCR. It has output/monitor feeds for audio that go into the amp, which can source the TV or radio or disc sources.

Mines an older unit, and I don't think it switches HiDef all that well, which is how our system ended up the way it did. I'm not a fan of iTunes -- I've heard complaints about the recent UI change -- as I think the open stuff has all the capabilities and doesn't get you tangled up in licenses and registering etc. > AND ....

Yeah, good luck with that!
