I have a friend who came to me and asked if I knew of a way to setup his old coax only tv to allow input from multiple sources. I think (for example he has a ps2 and wants to of course allow his cable tv also to run on the television. I thought for sure I'd be able to find the equivalent of an A/B switch to allow the user two switch from various inputs.
I suggested he buy a cheapo receiver. Any better / cheaper possibilities?

Look for an rf modulator. Some of them allow more than one source that you can switch between. Shouldn't be more than $30-$60.

Something like this?

Or these -

Cheapest one is $2 but of course shipping will probably be more than the switch. If you have radio shack stores in your area they usually carry this sort of thing.
