Apologies, I haven't read the whole thread but does the "PIP feature" not being on the remote signify the demise of PIP?Will anyone miss the PIP feature that is not on this new remote control?
Dan
Thanks for the reply, but does it not seem odd that this new fancy remote has not the PIP function? I went ahead and read the entire thread, the remote is interesting but the only thing that interested me was the apparent possibility of a browser...? Facebook may not be around when the remote is released and I'm not interested in FB anyway.No, it doesn't...

Regardless the PIP issue is troublesome, I hope it remains at least as it is.
I personally doubt it, but who knows;Maybe they will make that remote internet programmable? that way you could choose your button for PIP/POP?.
Yea I saw that too, there was never a follow up. Sometimes it's more of what is not said then what is said that gets me wondering...There has been prior discussion about buttons that already exist on the sides and that they 'might' be PIP.....
...It's no secret that the TV makers have for the most part discontinued PIP...could Dish be next?
TV PIP is redundant with satellite and cable single feed into the TV. We're not switching TV channels so much any more except in OTA only households.
Lt Disher said:I'm sorry, Pat. I have no idea what you are trying to say. Why would you not switch channels because you have cable instead of OTA? Could you explain or expand?

If so not good!
Thanks for that Scott, if you find out for sure could you let us know?I said this before, but wil say it again. I belive the PIP buttons were on the side of the remote. I didnt take any shots of the side f the remote though sorry... but I do seem to remember them being there.
What he means is that with modern setups, the channel changing occurs on the set top box, not the TV. The TV is left on a constant channel or input. Therefore TV PIP isn't particularly useful unless people have other feeds on TV separate inputs. (Dish on HDMI, OTA via coaxial antenna input, etc.)
Set top PIP is still quite useful, because that is how you can see two channels from your provider on a split screen or PIPed.

Here is a pic I found that I took, not sure if this one has been seen before...
Looking closely you can see the buttons on the side, which looks like MODE buttons... not PIP buttons.
Maybe they will make the color buttons (like Green) handle PIP functions?
Yes, its AUX, TV and SAT, the other side is Pair. No mention of PIP...and that space at the bottom, nothing but a dish logo....Here is a pic I found that I took, not sure if this one has been seen before...
