How do you connect cable TV and an over the air HD antenna to an HDTV with only one RF Input?

CK asked:


I have a Toshiba HDTV that has one RF Input. I have cable (without a box) and an HDTV Antenna for picking up local HD stations. Right now I have to physically disconnect the cable to watch Local HD and vice versa. How can I have both connected and just switch it with the TV input selector?

   You need a A/B Switch. You hook both cable and the wire from the antenna to the Switch. When you want to switch from antenna to cable, you just push the button on the A/B Switch.

   You can get the A/B switch at Radio Shack.
