SDS Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I want to use the two channels that come in to my TiVo in a PIP setup, so I can watch multiple games at once. Can this be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 You can only watch one show at a time. While you can record two at the same time, the DirecTV/TiVo only has one MPEG-2 decoder. So no PiP. If you're talking about a standalone TiVo, the same thing stands; there are two outputs (on both units), but they both output the same thing (useful for connecting one to a VCR and one to the receiver/TV). Hope that helps. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 no - it doesn't help. 178724[/snapback] No need to have PiP if you have DirecTV/TiVo. Record both games. Watch game 1 until a commercial, then switch to the start of game 2. When there's a commerical, switch back to game 1 and FF through the commericals. Watch until a new commercial, then switch to game 2 and FF through the commericals. Wash, rinse, repeat. I don't do that with the Bills games, but only because I do the play by play in the chatroom.

This way if you miss something you can always watch via the TiVo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
