Vizio 42" LCD TV: How to get PIP to work?

Question

I have a Vizio 42" LCD TV, and I have my Rogers High Def Cable box hooked up to it, and then I have my VCR hooked up to my Rogers Box.

I can get PIP to work, but I want to be able to watch two different channels at the same time. Right now, I am able to watch two different components at the same time (eg. HDMI and Component)

If I switch to my VCR and try to watch TV through that - then it only shows the same channel on my Rogers Box (meaning now I have two of the same channels in PIP) - how can I switch channels on one and not affect the other?

Answer 1

You need two Tuners to watch two different programs, so your setup is not going to work.

Try this. Split your cable feed into two: one goes directly to the TV tuner, the other goes to the set-top box. If your TV has a cable tuner, you should be able to watch all free cable channels on the TV; at the same the Rogers box provides access to all channels. then do PIP with TV tuner and the output of the set-top box.
