Solved: Need help with RCA Jacks
I just hooked up a cheap DVD player into the back of the TV, where I normally have the XBOX hooked up. Is there any kind of box or splitter that will allow me to hook up both to it, with one hook up going into the TV so we can use both? Is it as simple as a switch box with two buttons?

Yes it is that simple. I have a couple of 4 way switch boxes around the house they let you choose one of four sets of three RCA jack inputs (Stereo audio and composite video) to one output. One is mechancially operated with four push button switches. The other is electronic with front panel buttons and remote control. I got mine at Wal-mart and/or K-Mart a number of years ago. Don't recall seeing any 2 way ones.

I have a switch box from Radio Shack that lets me use two separate items with the switch of a button. Think I just need another one of those and it will work the same.
