None that I have seen. Why would you want it?

... Why would you want it?

1. Connect to recorder.

2. If screen goes broke, connect to a monitor.

If this is a feature you desire, then you can accomplish this by other means. Your standard CATV box it already has provisions for both analog and digital out. DVRs often the same story, using the DVR as a tuner you can often tap both the digial and analog outputs and watch two things at the same time.

Having this feature on a HDTV would be impractical to say the least. Ignoring the the moment you're using the largest most expensive piece of gear as a relay, such a feature would likely be disabled by HDCP. This means no BD, and no premium channels depending on your cable operator.
