Ok, this is not for a PC, so please mods move this to the appropriate forum if this shouldn't be in gen. hardware and sorry for the inconvenience, I figured this best fit here.
Anyways, my parents have a very old TV and with the whole digital upgrade and everything I decided it was time to upgrade their TV as well. The old TV is a 40-some year old, 27-inch RCA in wooden cabinet so I'm going with a 32 inch LCD. They already have a Tivo (gen 1) so I'm trying to keep that as I don't want to shock them too much with new devices... you know how parents get with new tech...
Anyways, seeing as I am in college I'm trying to keep this down to a reasonable budget, hopefully no more than $600 but I'm hoping for a little less of course. I'm looking at a refurbished Vizio 32" and an upconverting DVD player. I also would love to somehow integrate my old OTA antenna into the system so they can get some local HD.
So... my question basically is what options do I have to integrate the OTA into system. Obviously if I had a series 3 Tivo I could put both the antenna and cable into the system but I don't have the money for that. Is there another way, such as either combining 2 coax into 1 via reverse splitter or with some other receiver, to integrate the antenna source into the Tivo or TV guides?
Thanks for the help!
