Any interest in this?

I was just looking at some M$ example code to do this with VMR9 and it doesn't look too bad. Is this something people would use?

Only issue I see immediately is how you control it. With no PIP button on the remote (at least my MCE2005 US doesn't have one) how would you turn it off and on, select source for the subwindow, move the subwindow, swap sources, etc.

I'd definitely make use of it from time to time, especially if I could get my 2 DVB cards to work together...

The main purpose I'd use it for is monitoring a security camera ie see who's at the front door when I hear the doorbell.

    Depends on what you mean by the word "works". The module is quite complete and functional.

    I don't use DWHD, I can only say that there is no such folder. My mouse control hasn't worked properly for about 20 years now, but I don't use a mouse, the remote control is more convenient. I have mouse control, it works more or less normally only in ListView, although I don't even know if I have it enabled or not. Maybe it's disabled.
