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 :D
TIA

GE makes a three way switcher/RF mod combo unit that sells for just 30 bucks at target. I just used on on my kid's TV.

Yeah, both Target and Wal*Mart have these. I had a couple friends from work in the same situation and they're both happily watching DVDs now.

Exactly, I got an RF modulator for my mother-in-law's old TV for less than $20 at Wal-Mart

yeah I definitely would not pay a high price for one of these, (i.e. no more than $20). Cheap ones should be around. Much moe than $20 and you could just put that toward a new TV.

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.
