Home Theater Receiver

What is the advantage of having the cable-box connected to your home theater receiver?
My setup allows me to turn on the TV and cable box when I was not looking for movies.If connection directly from the box receiver to television I would need to turn on the receiver, so when you see local news.I say I guess my question is that I see a picture in my inprovement going the other route? Thank you.
Depends on the receiver - can take some receivers upconvert. However, the main advantage is that using the receiver as the main switch and if you have a set of HD-top box, you can listen to 5.1 releases too.
