Here's my situation: I have an older Onyko A/V receiver with one digital coaxial input (the optical input is broken). I have 2 components with digital coaxial outputs (dvd player & directv receiver) that I would like to utilize. Is there such a thing as a simple, inexpensive "2 inputs to 1 output" adaptor, cord or switch that would work for me & still maintain the digital sound integrity? It seems to me that this would be quite easy but I can't seem to find such a product. I've seen many simple optical splitters but not coaxial. Thanks a lot.

I do believe that any A/V switch would work, you would just need an adapter to convert the 75ohm connector to RCA on the ends where it connects to the switcher.
I hope someone will confirm this as I am not 100% sure of this.

Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to follow up...I bought a 2 dollar rca y-splitter at home depot (of all places) & everything is working great. My A/V receiver coax input is now split into 2 to receive my DirecTV receiver & DVD player. I just hit DVD or TV on the receiver's remote (each are set to Coax), depending on what I'm watching. The sound is awesome on each. Thanks again.

Yep, should have worked, and thanks to you playing the guinea pig, now we know it does for a fact. Enjoy your system.
