Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeff Strong" data-source="post: 287321" data-attributes="member: 3">Makes sense. Yeah, it used to only work if one of the inputs was coax, so what I did was ran two outputs from my directTV box: one HDMI and one coax so I had HD when I wanted TV only, and then the coax input for PiP when I was playing video games on another HDMI input.I was curious about why it disappeared a while back and read an article a few years ago about how the hardware was too expensive for PiP that could handle 2 HMDI outputs at once, and like you said, not many used it anyway, so the TV manufacturers figured why spend money developing it further, or adding it at all. But yeah, I could see why it wouldn’t get used as much today since a lot of people run everything through a surround sound receiver anyways. I’d still use it though, at least on one of my TVs. These days I just use Hulu/Netflix that’s built-in to my TV and ditched cable/satellite last year. Only drawback is no live sports. MLB.tv for the Cubs is the only one I’m willing to dish out cash for at this point, but that might change if the Bears are good again this year.</blockquote>
