  - tempting, for sure... -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:17
- bah, link -- (link) - znufrii Nov 12, 08:17 12

    - unfortunately, unless I go crazy and upgrade the TV as well (tempting) I'm stuck with old school... -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:24
  - Run a digital coax audio cable into the receiver and you'll have to be stuck with composite to the tv. -- nm - Shaun Nov 12, 08:20 3
    - that's kinda what I figured. thanks! -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:23 2
      - But a newer tv would make for some nicer options. Even if it had component inputs. -- nm - Shaun Nov 12, 08:25 1
        
        on the other hand, might create redundancies in a potential future living situation... - znufrii Nov 12, 08:26
  - You can buy video output cables for the XBox to output in any format you need, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 08:19
  - ooh.. the tuner itself has a bunch of switchable inputs.. just put all your stuff in and switch sources with your tuner instead of your tv. - colin Nov 12, 08:19 4
    - Would I be able to patch the video from the XBox through it as well? is my primary question - znufrii Nov 12, 08:22 3
      - oh, no you wouldn't. on that model it has to go directly to the TV.. - colin Nov 12, 08:28
      - the inputs on that piece suck. I would look for something else if I were you -- nm - decline Nov 12, 08:24
      - (or would the video have to go directly to the tv?) -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:23

- Isn't a roommate Christmas present like "Hey dude, I didn't rub my balls on your pillow last night. Merry Christmas!" -- nm - TFox Nov 12, 08:13 1

      - well, yeah... -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:18 2
        
        Solution: buy the home theater stuff, set it all up, take pictures of it, frame 4x6 photos for them to take when they move out. Done and done. -- nm - TFox Nov 12, 08:19
        
        dude, the deal is, if they are getting you a present, you need to get them a present. -- nm - Andie Remembers Nov 12, 08:19
  - Nice try, though :-) -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 08:11
- well, being as i assume that's really *your* possession, i'd get them something small and token -- nm - Andie Remembers Nov 12, 08:10 1
