Do home theater systems work with just the TV and 5.1 speakers?

I have an LCD TV, an Xbox360 and a Bose Lifestyle® 25 Series II home theater system 5.1 surround sound. I just want to watch satellite TV in surround sound. Can I set up my speaker systems to my TV for surround sound? Or does it have to route through my xbox 360 and use it when I watch movies?

Your system will not accept a external DD input only 2 channel audio. The best you can hope for is pro logic sound, sorry.

Get rid of the Bose and get a new cheaper system, that will have way better sound and flexibility. Bose is overrated.

better sound thru marketing!!
