pip with comcast hd and sony

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

With a GWIII, I have split my cable with a 1000MHz, -3.5dB splitter with one
lead going to the antenna input of the set and the other leg going to my
Comcast box for HD/Digital. Any devices connected to the component or
composite connectors on my set support PIP (POP actually) using the sets 2
tuners. If I ONLY feed my set from my AVR, for example, then I would have no
second (or other sources) to drive the PIP(POP) feature. My set also
receives signal from a VCR/Tivo, DVD player, DVR, Ant, Cable, Digital/HD,
and DBS using the available ports and RF. The left window can display any
source, the right doesn't display the component or DVI signals.

YMMV

My SONY TV's twin view (pip) does not have symetrically twin windows.
All 7 video-in ports are avialable to the left side window. But only
a few ports are available to the right side window.

I have a DVD and the cable HD box hooked to two component in ports and
unfortunately these two ports are available only on the left window.
i.e. I cannot show DVD and HD side by side at the same time.

I think if you own a SONY, you are out of luck in some configurations.
