I just bought a Roku Express to use on my analog TV. I also bought a digital adapter because I want to get rid of the TWC's digital box and stop paying for it. Now my question is I want to switch between cable and the Roku, but there is only one coax input on the TV. Will an AB switch work so I can switch between Roku and cable?
 
Solution
You must have the Roku Express+ which does have AV outputs.
It doesn't have an RF output so I think you mean an AV switch

rather than an AB switch

A passive switch can be used in either direction so the labels don't really matter.
Connect the single group of RCA jacks labeled in as your output to the TV.

Gosh, The Roku Express is for analog TV's. I have a Roku Express which I have hooked up with an RCA digital converter. I can receive and watch Netflix, Amazon, etc. on the analog TV, but I can't switch to cable without unhooking the ROKU. That's what I would like to do. The TV has only one coax input so you can't switch back and forth. I would think a AB switch would work, but I can't figure out what I need to do. I bought an AB switch, but it has two outs and one in making the digital converter hard to connect. Any suggestions.
