Do note that we never listen to the radio. Ever. I always have to do a double-take when shopping, because these devices are listed as "receivers" but, as far as I'm concerned, they aren't "receiving" anything. We are simply looking for a Blu-Ray player, and a 5.1 surround sound system to connect at least three HD video + DD5.1 audio devices (the Blu-Ray player, our TiVo S3, and maybe one or two others). If it tunes in radio stations, we'll never notice. The problem I've seen is that when you start looking for units that don't have radio tuners, the units get more expensive, not less expensive.
A receiver without a tuner is more of an amplifier, but you can't really classify it as an amplifier because they switch between inputs. There probably needs to be another classification added to this field of electronics.
