Take the cable coming out of the wall, add a 2-way Monster 2GHz splitter (Any Monster dealer like CC, BB, Tweeter etc) and send one feed into the cable box, the other straight into the TV's coaxial input. Use the Monster 2GHz splitter because you lose very little signal with this.
Make sure your VCR is connected to your TV with the composite cables (yellow, white and red) and now your VCR will be on an input channel rather than channel 3.
PiP only works when the TV's built-in tuner is used. This tuner is only used when it receives a feed not routed through a cable box of any kind.
I trust your HDTV decoder is connected at least with the red, green, blue (component connectors) for the picture feed and white, red for the sound?
