So, here's the setup:
1. coaxial input only TV.
2. RF modulator.
3. DVD player with no extra RCA inputs.
4. Stereo receiver with one set of RCA aux inputs.

I'd like to play the TV/DVD player audio through the receiver. I'd also like to have an extra set of RCA inputs for an iPod/laptop/etc. An extra S-Video or composite video input for the laptop would be nice, but not essential. So, here's what I've found: http://www.radioshack.com/prod...fier&parentPage=search
It will do, but I'd rather not unplug/replug things every time I want to play my iPod through the receiver. Is there such a product, only with two inputs? I only need two outputs, but more doesn't necessarily hurt.
Thanks!

Hmm.

My suggestion would be to go get a new TV for $50 on Craigslist, with composite (yellow-red-white) inputs and outputs. Plug your DVD player into the TV, and your TV into the stereo.

When you want to use your TV tuner, just turn on the TV. IF you want to watch a movie, set the TV to the DVD input; the sound will be sent to the TV's audio output jack.

...yeah. That's what I would have done, but my roommates (both girls, shockingly enough ;)) bought the TV, and I don't want to be that guy who says "Oh thanks, but actually you suck at buying TVs."
