  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.
