YOu have a switch box built into modern multi-input LCD TV/monitors. It is accessible using the remote control of your screen. It is usually labeled TV input and allows whatever is plugged into the back of the screen to switch inputs between off-the-air (antenna) or cable, and one or more HDMI inputs.

I really know of nothing else that will accomplish that. YOu may want to look at a couple of specialty web sites that I know of that may have something.

Yep. That's about your only option. You can't actually convert a coaxial signal to HDMI without a tuner. There are a few stand alone tuners out there that would do what you want to do, but they are cost prohibitive. If your current TV doesn't have a coaxial input or multiple HDMI ports it's almost cheaper to just go buy another TV that does.

Mickey, do you have more than one Television?

I have only one set, but prepared for 2 or 3 (via coax). I modified the existing wall plate to allow me to bring OTA antenna, CATV, or Dishnet inputs into either the television or the Dish receiver. My receiver is what I normally use and switching the set from receiver (HDMI), BR player (HDMI) or OTA antenna is a matter of using the input options for the set. The only down side is I have to move the coax cable manually from sat receiver to television if I want to watch cable television when (on rare occassions) its provided by the park. If I add a second set, it would have to rewire or go to a wireless HD solution. I really don't plan on having a second set.

Go on Amazon and look for multiple input wireless transmitters -there are a few models - much easier than running cable to other TV and if you cost out long hdmi cables and time it's cheaper too.
