Have you looked at the HD TVs with built in digital and analog NTSC
tuners? The ones I've seen have 2 antenna inputs for just what you
are saying - so you can switch between them for analog and digital
sources if you want. I assume the set will remember both the digital
and analog channel settings when switching between tuners.
If you find a set that doesn't have that capability, you can still do
the work around another poster suggested and hook up the analog cable
to a VCR and feed the set with the VCR A/V outs. Another work around
would be a simple 75 ohm A/B switch, if necessary.
