Video routing through receiver?

On my old receiver (10-year old Onkyo), I have the option of routing all the video cables (satellite coax cable and RCA outs from VCR and DVD) through the TV, so I could select sources more easily. But, I found that this made the picture darker, so I put the video cables directly into the TV.
With newer receivers, I'm thinking Yamah, Onkyo, Denon, etc. has this improved? Do people generally rout their video through their home theater receiver for convenience? Have you tried it direct? Did you notice a difference?
