I have 2 different sat boxes for tv programs. Even though i have a hdmi capable receiver, both set top boxes are output directly into the tv via hdmi, and i have the tv analog stereo output connected into the receiver. The reason is that often there is very noticeable time lag of the video via the tv when the hdmi cable is connected into the receiver first before then connected to the tv. The spoken dialogue sounds from the receiver and speakers would be ahead of the lips movement shown on the tv screen by very noticeable timing. With bigger screens, this video time lag problem becomes even more worst.

Now, most receivers would have a lip-sync function to compensate for the video time lag (delaying the audio by 70ms to 300ms depending on tv models and size), but I don't recommend to use it because these lip sync function will always introduce jitter into the audio, making the sound unpleasant to listen to. I prefer to have the hdmi cable connected directly into the tv. Then the audio that's output from the tv into the receiver is perfectly syncd with the video image on screen without having any jitter problem coming to degrade the sound quality reproduced through the receiver and speakers. In your case, your linn amp neither has hdmi inputs, nor does it has lip sync audio delay function.

I consider analog stereo outputs on tv sets to be an essential feature!
