In Reply to: Picture-in-picture w/Directv - How? posted by Eric H on June 03, 2003 at 15:53:50:
A second receiver would not do any thing for you. A cheap VCR (which provides a second tuner to you tv) would do the trick.

Sorry, I misunderstood the term you described 'receiver' as a a/v receiver. Yes the second set-top receiver would do the trick but it would be more costly than a vcr, IMO.
A cheap vcr? Gee, I've already got one of those... I'll have to try to figure out how to wire this up, maybe I'm only a cable or two away from making it work... thanks! Eric H
Well, I tried it...and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work. I really think I need two satellite receivers to do this... Anybody out there with Directv that has done this? What did you use? Eric H
"I really think I need two satellite receivers to do this."Some PIP TV's either have a built in tuner (two tuner), which won't receive Direct TV signals, and others have the ability to take an external video signal (composite?) for that.
The VCR will do fine for "normal" signals that it can receive but will not work for the Direct TV signals.
What about using a VCR that has a built-in Directv tuner such as some Sony models? Then using a signal spliter and the Directv box into a PIP TV would do it. No???
The key is getting a tuner that works with Direct TV. If the Sony VCR does that, you're home free here.
