connect your best video signal (digital antenna or digital satelite ) directly to your monitor, and switch the low-quality video (cable TV, DVD, etc) through the receiver.

all receivers/ video switchers, and even long cable runs will attenuate the signal to some degree.

you need at least 100 mHz for HD video. if your receiver does not list the video bandwidth in the specs...it's not good enough.

it's highly unlikely that any 10-year-old device has that kind of video switching capacity...there was no need for it way back then.
