I went through this as well. You have two choices as far as I can see:

1) Get a TV with audio out (I chose this option)
2) Use a VCR as a tuner and bring the audio from the VCR into the
Sherwood. This works but requires a separate remote and I never use a
VCR anymore as I usually watch DVDs.


It seems to me that a true HT receiver should accept cable and be able
to act as a central distribution point for video and audio signals
alike. There's already an FM tuner in there, so how hard would it be to
have a cable tuner as well?
