HDTVs with Integrated Digital TV (IDTV) function are capable of receiving regular and digital TV programs out-of-the-box. But to receive the latter, you’ll need a separate aerial feed that is piped through an external terrestrial/satellite antenna or supplied by your local cable provider. This means two separate cables are needed, one for analog TV broadcasts and another for digital, to connect to the panel.
However, most IDTV entries are shipped with only a single TV aerial input that can accept only one signal. Unless your local TV channels are available in simulcast format, you’ll end up having to manually switch cables to enjoy both analog and digital programs. In Singapore, for example, there’re still some stations such as Channel U and Suria available only in analog broadcast.
Here’s a simple and affordable solution. What you’ll need is a two-way RF splitter which costs S$10 to S$30 in most hardware stores. Connect the analog and digital aerials to the outputs of the splitter, while its corresponding input goes to the TV via an additional coaxial cable. You may need an F-type adapter to mate with the RF splitter’s threaded socket if your antenna output comes with a RCA-style plug (refer to image).
