I thought he wanted an input to his TV, which I guess would be OT.  If he
wants two inputs into his mythtv box, he should get a second capture card,
like the HDHR.

If he really wants a computer controlled switch, that would be an RF relay
instead of an RF switch.  Easier to get a second capture card.
