T&T: Digital TV Question

[Jim Barrentine]

I have a Panasonic LCD TV that is about 5 years old on my boat.  It 
does not have a digital tuner.  Currently I have a Glomex powered 
antenna with an AB switch that allows me to switch between dockside 
cable and the antenna.  There is a single coax cable running from the 
Glomex amplifier/AB switch to the TV.

Question

Can I insert one of the digital tuner boxes between the Glomex 
amplifier/AB switch and the TV?  When I am on dockside cable the 
digital tuner would be seeing an analog signal on it's input side and 
when I am on the antenna it would see a digital signal.  Is it smart 
enough to distinguish?  Will the Glomex antenna and amplifier even 
work with digital signals?

I really don't want to run another coax from the amplifier/switch to the TV.
