just a guess here but have you thought a splitter in reverse may work.

yes, but it doesn't work because of frequency conflict.

If you live in Pakistan - as the sig suggests - then you'd be better off asking in a forum that deals with your home country....

Although the channels are delivered by a similar mix of terrestrial, satellite and cable as the UK, you really need to ask someone with knowledge of Pakistani TV hardware.

You have already answered your own question.
The two cable feeds cannot be combined.
You will need a 2-way changeover switch.

Another possible soloution would be to take one feed to a VCR (or other device with a tuner in it) and the other to the TV. Then connect the VCR to the TV with scart. That way you could watch one feed using the tuner in the TV and the other using the tuner in the VCR.
