I'm using a DirecTV DVR20 box with both analog and digital (toslink) outputs. I've simply run the analog outputs directly into my TV, and leave the TV volume at zero by default (and, of course, run the optical into the 990). When I want to use the TV speakers, I simply direct my remote to control the TV and turn the volume up. It seems like a simple solution - maybe I am missing something here? Just wondering...
