I currently have a 35" Sony Trinitron CRT and Hughes DirecTV receiver (Model #GAEB0A). I want to replace the TV with a Pioneer Elite PRO-730HD 64" and add a surround sound system. I'm looking at the Onkyo TXSR600 receiver and Polk RM7200 5.1 speakers.
My question is, since my Hughes DirecTV receiver can't receive either HDTV or Surround Sound, what do I buy - a Sat C Kit and new HDTV receiver with 5.1 optical out, or just a less expensive non-HDTV DirecTV receiver with 5.1, and pull HDTV off-air with an indoor antenna?
Thanks,
Mark
