Subject says it all, almost. My 85YO half-blind father wants to
upgrade his bedroom TV, which he uses several hours per day. But it
need to have inputs for his old composite-feed VCR, DVD, and Dish
box. DTV from antenna won't play nice being fed through old SD dish
box, so I want the reserve the F connector for the roof antenna. (no
dish locals around here). I'd strongly prefer for him to not have to
do any voodoo of switching stuff on and off in a certain order, so
I'd rather not use the dish RF output anyway- just hit the source
button to switch back and forth. I'd rather not use a mechanical
switch box, but that is the fallback, since he has to stand in front
of the stack to put in a tape or DVD anyway. He won't let me just
replace it all with modern stuff that uses HDMI cables- the old stuff
still works.
