WATCH TWO CHANNELS AT ONCE WITH PICTURE IN PICTURE

[spoiler1041]

I remember we had one of those in the 1950s.

It's funny looking back but at the time it was awsome.

Talk about Thread Creep!

Can we get back to the original discussion. Please!!

PIP? What ya want to discuss?

Yep, that antenna rotator did a pretty good job back then bringing in them there analog signals. I remember it looked like a car differential and my dad had it mounted on a plumbing pipe coming out of the roof. Of course that is a big no no to attach OTA antennas on plumbing pipes, but I guess he didn't know that. I don't recall having any roof leaks but who knows.

My dad did the same thing but he was a plumber so what else would he use.

I'd like to have CC available for one of the other multiview channels that are not selected for audio. Also for pip.

Why is it bad to use plumbing pipes?

Because there is a chance the pipe chalking can crack causing a rain leak from the wind whipping the OTA antenna around that is attached to the pipe.

Look at my first post! This thread was meant to request Dish to allow BlueTooth audio for one picture while normal audio for the other picture so two people can watch and hear 2 separate programs at the same time.

If you guys want to talk crapovision, I'll just restart another thread.

You didn't start this thread. The OP was an add for pip.

Sorry, you completely lost me there. What is pipe chalking?

He meant caulking, the sealer....

I just wish when doing side by side... Both channels would take up half the screen... But I don't think it's possible is it... Usually it's two boxes with black on the top and bottom

Could do top and bottom...

seems like i've been using PIP for viewing 2 channels forever (or at least close)

But PIP is basically disappearing. The last TV I have seen PIP on is the Vizio I bought in 2009, I have not seen it on any current sets.

I use PIP all the time. I like to buffer the channels and switch between them so I can skip the commercials.

Or when you're watching something but want to keep track of a score of a game.

Actually I was referring to the Hopper version of PIP - I'm not even sure if my TV has it or not. - I don't think it does.
