I'm a newbie to Direct TV and I got a Samsung SIR 4040 DVR with the system.
The DVR has 2 tuners that you can switch back and forth from. My Sony TV has
Picture In Picture, but I can't find a way to get it to work with the DVR.
When I bring up PIP it just shows what's on the Tuner I'm watching.

Has anybody been able to use PIP?

Thanks.

PIP is a cable only 'feature'

Your DVR has 2 tuners, but only a single output...

Use the guide and surf the channels while the little window shows what is on
on your currect channel.
