I thought this would be a no brainer....BUT......

I have basic cable for my local channels....I just received an R15 DVD receiver today and thought that I could hook up the basic cable to the off-air in connection and the signal would be carried through the S-video cable to the TV...I have the S-Video out going to the TV and the DirecTV signal is fine but when I power off the receiver, the screen goes blue and there is no signal....if I can't do this is there a converter that would allow the standard cable to be converted to S=Video ?....not sure if I'm making sense...thanks in advance for any help/suggestions...
