Splitting Digital Coax?

Hey there,

I have a new receiver that (finally) gives me DTS. I have a DVD player that has digital coax audio out and a PVR/DVR that has digital coax output. The problem is that my receiver only has one coax input. Is there any way I can split the signal. I was thinking that as long as only one device is turned on at a time, I could probably just use a standard splitter... but thought I'd check with all y'all here first.

Thanks!

    I would just use a optical cable for one of your sources, assuming one has an optical output. I would assume that your receiver has plenty of optical inputs.
    5.1 and 2.0 ch Basement Media Room: Outlaw 975/Emotiva DC-1/Rotel RB-1582 MKII/Rotel RB-1552/Audiosource Amp 3/Polk LS90, CS400i, FX500i/Outlaw X-12, LFM-1/JVD DLA-HD250/Da-Lite 100" HCCV/Sony ES BDP/Sonos Connect. DC-1/RB-1582 MKII/Sonos Connect also feed Polk 7C in garage or Dayton IO655 on patio.
    2.1 ch Basement Gym: Denon AVR-2807/Klipsch Forte I or NHT SB2/JBL SUB 550P x 2/Chromecast Audio.
    2.0 ch Living Room: Rotel RX-1052/Emotiva DC-1/Klipsch RF-7 III/Sony ES BDP/LG 65" LED.
    2.0 ch Semi-portable: Klipsch Powergate/NHT SB3/Chromecast Audio.
    Kitchen: Sonos Play5.

    you can't use Toslink for one or the other?
    The only way I can see it working is using a Y splitter. 2 females to one male.

    can your PVR/DVR do the switching?
    Win7 Media Center -> Onkyo TXSR702 -> Polk Rti70
