What can be done for TVs w/ only a cable input?
I need to try and figure out a way of connecting a DVD player (standard 3 RCA connectors) to a TV that I'm pretty sure only has a cable/coax input. Is there anything like the old TV/game switch boxes for the atari 2600? I tried looking around at places like Best Buy but the closest thing I could find were made specifically for the game systems (PS2,Xbox) and didn't have a generic component input.
Hints/clues/suggestions are appreciated
TIA

I know Best Buy has on one that you can multi inputs (DVD, VCR, Sat, PS2...) and one out put to the TV. To change the device, you just hit a button on the front of the box.
Price about $39.
