Does anyone use their TV Tuner or TV Speakers?

HELL NO, I didnt spend tons of money on a reciever and speakers just so I could listen to the crappy ones on the tv

Speakers yes - for my sat box and when i occassionally watch an old video, they are only connected by stereo analog outs anyway, so why waste the electricity and wear and tear on the receiver

i need a new optical cable for the sat box before anyone asks and i'm not sure that i want to invest in one now when i will be getting sky HD next year

Never, I disconnected them actually cause they make an annoying buzzing sound unless muted...just like MacDaddy I spent a bunch of money on a nice setup and I'm going to use it.

My roommates do cause they still don't know how to turn a receiver on. I come home to an echo almost everyday from both being on.

I use OTA (Over the Air antenna) for my HD.

From what I understand, isn't the quality much better since some of the cable companies compress? That is my understanding.

I use Over the Air antenna for my backup HD channels since Dish Network does not Have Fox HD as a satellite channel in the Sacramento Area. I also get several additional channels including weather over my OTA antenna. As for the TV speakers I use them for SD programming or when their is no surround or 5.1 programming. (Primarily when the kids are using the TV). If you want to see what channels are in your area for HD OTA try this link:

Use an OTA antenna for my HD. Don't use the speakers on my tv since I have a surround sound system
