I just ordered a LCD TV with a built in QAM/ATSC tuner and a Philips MANT940 antenna. My current receiver is a 322: Can I send the powered antenna through the 322 and to my new TV to receive OTAHD or Do I need to run a separate cable and install silly switch or a signal combiner before it hits my TV?

If the 322 is in the same room as this LCD, then you need to hook antenna direct to TV and use s-video to connect 322 to TV for better picture quality.
However, it sounds like you are referring to the TV 2 television. If that is the case, then you will need to use a splitter hooked up backwards at the 322 to combine antenna and TV2 channel onto wire running to TV 2. Then, at TV2 you have two choices depending on your TV. If the TV tunes both digital and analog stations through just one coax connection, you can just have that wire connected to the TV. On some sets, you have a separate DIGITAL IN barrel and an ANALOG IN barrel. If that's the case, then you'll have to split your signal and hook to both ports and scan channels on both. Then just switch inputs using your TV remote.
