[QUOTE="CodeMonkey, post: 15705, member: 10548"] Not all remotes (like the MCE2005 US model) have the red button. That's the difference between the US model and the 'rest of the world' models. The PIP on my TV only lets you change channels etc. on the large window. So to change the channel on the small one you: 1) Swap the windows 2) Change the channel 3) Swap back Using this model we would need buttons on the remote to: 1) Turn on/off PIP 2) Swap windows 3) Optional buttons to move/resize the small window Right now the OK button takes you back to the previous channel viewed. I was thinking about turning that into a context menu and add PIP on/off, and PIP swap to go along with previous channel. Thats the only problem with MP having so many nice features. We don't have enough buttons on the remote. At least you MCE2005 remote users outside the US have those 4 extra buttons. :) I was also just thinking of doing PIP for live TV first. Then adding other sources after the bugs are worked out of the initial release. The way I would implement it would require VMR9. So running in overlay would not be an option. Maybe even only VMR9 Windowless, but I'm not sure about that yet. Good ideas in this thread! [/QUOTE]
