The Anthem can send audio out, BUT, the TV must be set to TV speakers and not receiver and you will get sound from the TV instead of the receiver. Now, using multiple TV sets from a switcher isn't going to help matters. I'd think each TV would have to be set to TV speakers if it is going to work at all but I do not believe it will work. Remember, you are trying to send signals back and forth from the receiver and multiple TV sets instead of just the one. The best way to go may be PVR to switcher, then one of the cables from switcher to an input in the receiver. Then, the receiver's #1 output to one TV. This way, ARC will be functional with that one TV and you can play sound via the receiver or out of the TV by setting the TV sound setting to TV speakers rather than the receiver if you wish. Try it out, post results.
