Does anyone know if there are any HDMI switches that will work with Non-HDCP compliant TVs? I hate to have to get rid of my 3 year old set.

NO.
IF your set has hdmi then its hdcp compliant, if it doesnt have hdmi then a hdmi switcher
wont work on it.
A switcher mearly allows two inputs for one HDMI input.
My set has one hdmi, for instance, my switcher plugs into it and allows two devices to be connected.
If your set doesnt have hdmi then there is no place for a switcher to plug into,
so the question is moot:1:

Yes, there are older HDTVs out there with HDMI inputs that are not HDCP compliant. Mine for example. I've heard of HDMI switches out there that work with these TVs and allow for them to receive HD content from sources that demand HDCP compliancy.
