I don't think it's cheating anymore than running a DVD player through an agile modulator is. I mean, technically if you aren't receiving an OTA signal from a commercial analog transmitter the chain is broken.
If your enjoyment comes from knowing that all the electrons are flowing, the coils are resonating, the capacitors are capacitating, and that whole marvelous Rube Goldberg contraption has all its parts working in harmony, then using the tuner is the only way to go.
If seeing the absolute best picture you can on that set is what you enjoy most, then running the Y half of an s-video output from an HDTV box or DVD player into the video stage is the most "true" option.
MadMan depends on the set, if it has one or two video stages, remember the output from the video detector is negative.
