Various places sell cheap manual switchers (e.g. with 3 inputs and one output) that are around $15 give or take a little. You can look at places like monoprice.com partsexpress.com or Radio Shack.

Do you have a coax digital input? Then buy an optical to coax converter from MonoPrice for $12. I've also seen optical switches as part of a more expensive component video switch. Monoprice sells a manual switch for $7.
