At first it was just the antenna and HDMI and later, just one at a time. I haven't seen this feature making a comeback.

Check out switchers and multiplexors like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BV1XBIY/

The only way to get this function on a new Samsung tv is if you can get it from your cable provider because this function has been removed from new Samsung TVs
