Hello,

I need good advice, I live in Mexico (border with the US), we have the old cable system (Here, digital cable is like a politician promise - :rolleyes: Light years of being true), I have a HDTV with just one RF input, I would like to know if is possible to use something that allows me to combine the cable signal and OTA signal (In the border we have like 10 OTA HDTV channels English-Spanish) without being manually toggling a switch every time that I change from OTA to cable and viceversa.

I appreciate your wise advice !!!

Nope, you need an A/B switch.

Or you need to use 2 different tuners. Like run one cable to your TV, and the other to the tuner input on your VCR (or DVD).

I had the feeling that old and new stuff don't mix very well ...
It's switch time ...

Thanks again !
