If there is only one cable plugged into the back of the TV, there would be no sources to select.

just because there is only one cable
does not mean the TV, does not have a dvd menu selection, If it is a built in Dvd

if it is a stand alone dvd player,
then there should be a switch box, manual or automatic

Ok. that didn't work.

Bill.Winegard I think that you are correct. I saw that the gray wire is attached to the coax input. It seems like the TV is treating the signal as another over the air signal and when I to a set up search it over writes the previous search. So now I get either antenna channels or DVD channel per set-up. If this works you can see my set up. I've never tried to post a picture before so here goes.

If this is the same unit, there is no HDMI and it lists only a Composite connection (optional game console) and a USB iPod connection. It appears the DVD is just inserted in a slot. If that's all correct you will never get high quality DVD. You can you see only one grey wire to the back of the TV. Where does this wire connect? To the Coax TV IN or some other port?
I assume you are actually doing a scan on the TV and that's a function of the TV which you can do nothing about other than replace it with a different brand. The secondary scan will likely then be necessary to find the DVD but you should have the option to do a scan for additional channels (or similar wording) as opposed to a new scan. This way you can turn to the DVD option and do the secondary scan and you would have both the locals and the DVD channels available. This only has to be done once at each location and you are good to go.
