Watch TV by pass preamp/processor


Iam hooking up a home theater with separates and will have all source components hooked up to the preamp/processor and out to the TV.

I would like o be able to watch TV/tivo the "old fashoined" way at times. Does the preamp act as a bypass if not turned on? or
Can I create another path by using component out from the TIVO(HDMI to preamp) and select that input for"normal" viewing?

By old fashioned I meant to watch TV/TIVO without turning on the pre/amp HT system which I htink all addressed

Just to clarify I was thinking along the lines of Chadlesko with a folllowup. I get leaving my HDMI from Tivo to tv to watch without turning on the amp with the tv set on the corresponding input for the HDMI-Lets call that input 7.

Now to watch TV in a HT atmosphere for TIVO/cable don't I need to run audio and video from TIVO to preamp and then back out to the TV at let's the input 6.

So when I watch regular tv input set to 7 and with pream/amp input 6
Will that work?
