Ok let me first off state computers are my thing and tv's are not.
I just got a new Comcast DVR box. I have an older tv that only has one Coax input, and one set of the RCA inputs. No RCA outputs.
The Comcast DVR box only has one Coax input. On the old digital box it had a Coax input/output which I used to connect the TV to the wall and box. I had used the RCA's to hook up my DVD player. I also had these all hooked up to a receiver somehow (trial and error mostly)
Long story short, there are not enough inputs/outputs on this new box and my tv to hook up the DVR and DVD player at once. Since I have ruled out buying a new tv for the moment due to insufficient funds, what kind of connector would I need to buy to do something like this? I basically need an extra set of RCA outputs somewhere I think.
You need a video switcher. You can buy them at Walmart or Radio Shack.

Thanks David - I figured such a device existed, but didnt know the name of the device I needed to search for. I have a KVM switch for my computer which allows a similar sort of sharing.
