I have a PAN TH42PX75U. I am slight strapped for cash so I have yet to upgrade to HD through Cox Communications. The TV only has 1 coaxial input. Not only am I strapped for cash, I am lazy (sarcasm). Is there some device I can have both the coaxial input for my basic cable AND my OTA hooked up at same time and can just switch to one or the other within the menu? I'm just too lazy to have to unscrew it and screw the other every time I want to view some OTA HD. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

I'm not sure what you mean by "within the menu"...but a simple A/B switch will make your life simpler.

You can even go with a remote controlled switch.

Although if you're strapped for cash spending $40 to switch it may not be what you're looking for... :-)

Go with the first option, it's easy and cheap.
