Directly to the display.  I have far (*FAR*) more firepower in my myth box 
when you combine the dual cores and the GPU than any mere receiver could 
hope to have.

Granted, the dual cores are GP units rather than special purpose DSPs, so 
that does take the dual cores down a peg or two.  Nevertheless, what they 
lack in effeciency they more than make up for in flexibiity.  (How do I want 
to deinterlace the signal?  Bob?  Linear?  Kernel?  Yadif? 
Hussein-Osbourne?  :) )

One projector running at the native resolution, one cable that runs 
interrupted.  No opportunities for other boxes to throw wrenches in the 
works!


As for your friend at the video store, I tend to discount most opinions I 
hear from salesmen.  They're not neutral, their job is to *sell* you stuff, 
using whatever means necessary!
