Hi, have this feature on my new lcd tv but cant get it to work. When tried to use either of these the second screen that comes up is just blank. I have virgin media so i shouldnt have to manually find channels and store them i just want them from virgin box.
Any suggestions?

Maybe telling us what TV you have bought would give us a chance of helping you?

Have you selected the correct source for the PIP screen? You should be able to view the tuner in the main window and one of the scart inputs in the PIP - or vice versa. You can't have two seperate Virgin cable channels displayed at the same time - if that is what you are trying to achieve. Your Virgin Media box is only capable of outputting one channel at any one time.

Thanks for replying. That is exactly what i was trying to do. What a waste of a feature if you cant do this because I dont have tuned in channels as I have the virgin box so dont need them. They only time I could use it is if I had the xbox on the 'fav' output. Disappointing.

Thanks again for clearing that up.

lea27: you will have to get more stuff then!

the main use if PIP is to... (while looking to see if the ads are finishing... )
- set up your recorder or edit recordings..
- check other channels using your freeview box, or even get a second virgin box for this!!
