PIP with Satellite???

[creeval]

Just curious if there is anything that will allow me to use my PIP feature on my tv with Satellite? I know you can't just simply split the line with Satellite but I wasn't sure if there was anything that will work?

Thanks,

2 receivers

there are dual PVR units that have a setup like PIP

pip works on the principal of 2 tuners working independantly. im order to use PIP with satellie you need 2 recievers (in the case of directv) or with Dish you can get the 721 or the 522 which both have internal pip capabilities. long story short you need to sources for pip funtionality.

On the cheap you can add a TV antenna as a second source.

Thanks...

Cool, Thanks for the responses. I was hoping there would be another alternative besides having to buy another receiver. Oh well.

If you have a 522 I think you could split the rf out and run it back to a switch and then diplex it into your tv's 2nd tuner.
