I just got my 970 and I want to hook up the video feed from my Dish through the 970 and then into tv via the monitor out s-video. Will the dish feed passively go through the 970 with out it having to be turned on. I hooked it up without having turned the power on the 970 for the first time and i did not get a picture on the tv. I figured if it was a passive output it would work. Do I have to do the setup on the 970 first and will I always have to have the 970 on for the video from the dish to appear on the tv.
This is my first venture into the higher end of a/v home theater. So, I am probably missing some basic common sense knowledge here.
