Okay I misunderstood. I have that working now. I thought you might know how to do PIP from the tv tuner when using the HDMI monitor on the computer. I used to do that with my all-in-wonder card but the video went directly into the card so I was just watching computer tv in a window. (i can probably do that now as my current graphics card has tv input)
I think what I'm trying to do requires the TV itself to have pip and for some reason that seems hard to find in LCDs. If the Samsung TOC doesn't have it, I'm sure it isn't common.

>>>NVidia - yes. There is a two screen option in the utility app that comes with the graphics card. I have a 32 inch Viewsonic HDTV that I use for a monitor. I had it on HDMI for a while, but IMHO VGA is better. And for some reason or other, I could not re-size fonts when using HDMI

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
