[QUOTE="Stinky, post: 16027, member: 13028"] What about using the left/right (or up/down) arrows around the OK button to toggle through modes? IIRC, when the OSD is off, they's unused buttons. For example: Watching one channel on full screen, press the left arrow once, and you get your previous channel (from the OK button) in a small PiP window. Press left again, PiP window is medium-sized. Press left once more, channels swap and PiP window is small (or should it still be medium?) with the original channel in PiP and the new channel full-screen. Press left once more and the PiP window is medium sized, press right arrow and the PiP window is gone. So a list of modes for the left arrow would be - PiP small window - PiP med. window - swap channels, PiP small window (here's where you could change the second channel) and modes for the right arrow: - PiP med. window - PiP small window - No PiP So you could use the right button to back the PiP off to "off", leftie will let you setp through all the other modes. In no more than 2 right arrow clicks, PiP would be turned off. Two clicks from the left arrow will swap the channels (three if PiP is not on). And left and right are reasonably intuitive for controlling PiP. Or even better, have a much more granular scaling. Just using one of the left/right buttons (when watching full-screen TV) turns PiP on and as you hold the button, the first channel's display gets smaller as the second's gets bigger. If you hold the left/right button until either channel is at 100%, then your PiP is effectively off. Scaling would be inversely proportional - 90%-10%, 80-20, 70-30,60/40, etc. Whichever channel is >50% of the screen is the window that gets focus for channel change signals from the remote. This is a bit different than PiP in the sense that both channels will be PiP windows and there won't really be a channel playing in the background. This might be the part that causes it to not work in VRM9, though. Just thinking out loud, hope I made sense. :) [/QUOTE]
