RE: the Zeniths, yes I remember they even had the A/B switching capability. We're still dealing with A&B where I live but it's supposed to be going away very soon. In the meantime I want to keep the A/B switch by the nightstand and then run the cable from there to the TV. This is for a guest room and the TV won't get a lot of use, but I don't know anyone who's willing to walk over/get out of bed to change the channel or shut off the TV anymore.
