I actually pair my iPhone with the Blu ray player so I can use that to search and play videos. Way better than the built in YT player in the Blu ray. I watched the entire game 7 of the 1952 World Series on my Admiral console set the other night from YT! Was awesome!
I got the Panasonic Blu-ray model DMP-BD871. On eBay from time to time. $30 including shipping. There is a Sony model too that fit the bill, but could not find it.
I also have my DirecTV and a VCR running to my switch as well. My last open input on my switch I'd like to hook my laptop up. But my laptop only has VGA out and headphone output for audio. Has no s-video output. So have to figure out how to get VGA out and headphone audio out to RCA jacks in for my switch.

To clarify, I use an agile modulator which puts out a weak analog signal. Mine broadcasts on channel 7. So I feed all my devices to a switch then into the agile modulator. My old sets simply use rabbit ears to pick up the broadcast on channel 7. However if you found a Blu-ray with composite out jacks and fed them directly into an RF modulator and then to your old set that would work fine as well.
