picture in picture - HD?

[Islandguy43]

I am anticipating of switching to D*. Does any of their HD receivers, support PIP functions like E*'s 722 or 622?

 

[JAG72]

Nope. This is the one feature that I miss from the 622.

I really mis PIP That is one big Gripe I have with D!!!.. But so far I still do like the Service....

DO NOT do the P in P!
With DTV you will need a second receiver for the P in P and I did one installation where the customer was convinced to use the required two HD receivers. You could not see the results. That little screen area just does not show the full potential of the system.

And then there is the money. Use a SD receiver for the small screen.

That might be an option. I did that with E* prior to getting the 722. The 722 just made it so much easier to do.

With a DVR, is there really a need for PiP?

Sports I suppose.

My Mits has PiP, and PoP, usable with different sources. It was a novelty for a while, but I no longer use it.

Well there is always Channels 102 and 104.. 8 pnp

True but if your tv doesn't support PiP then you're SOL.

There is a need for PIP when your a Buffalo Fan and your wife is a Toronoto fan; and they both have a 7:00 pm saturday night game and you both want to watch your team on the Large Screen HDTV

Think PIB.....Picture in Bar

The number of sets you can hang on a wall is only limited by wall size. Think Sports Bar in your living room.
