couple of ideas ... So you want sound from TVprogramming to go through your receiver? If you have a cable box, or satelitte see if it has sound out. If it does, plug the sound out from cable/sat box to your receiver. Some TVs have line out, if your TV has that, then you can connect that to your receiver. What i did with my bedroom tv was to plug the headphone jack into my receiver with a head phones -> RCA cable. Probably not ideal, but it does work.
