I have a wicked old tv with no audio-video input, but a Comcast Digital Cable Digital Box is hooked up to it. Anyone know any way to hook up a DVD player to the digital box?

Yes you have to get a rf modulator from bestbuy/circut city/radio shack. The rf modulator will be connected to the tv. Then you put the rca's in to the modulator(red,white,yellow) from the dvd player. Then coax cable will go in to the coax port on the modulator..it's easy..Also, instructions will be included. Should cost around 14.99-19.99

To add a bit to the information already given.
Since you have an old TV with no AV input, the cable box is using the RF input of your TV. What you need for your DVD player is an RF modulator. The DVD player's AV output goes to the moudulator's input. The cable box RF output goes to the RF input of the modulator and the RF output of the modulator goes to your TV. When you turn on your DVD player the RF modulator automatically detects that and switches from your cable box to your DVD player. I have a similar set up for my bedroom TV.
