are you kidding me !!!!!!

WHY NOT!!!!

Answer 1

I always found it kind of annoying. Its hard to pay attention to a show, or a sports game for that matter, which a block covering up a portion of the TV. And plus it always required a 2nd tuner or cable input, which increases the cost of manufacturing.

Answer 2

Because you bought a TV that doesn't have two tuners.  The pix-in-pix feature requires two tuners, and many of the manufacturers only want to put one in because it keeps the price down.

Answer 3

My 51 incher has PIP....but I don't use it that much.

You MAY have purchased the Entry-Level models, which normally don't have PIP....

You have to step into the High-End models for PIP....

Seriously, I don't use PIP that much....so I really don't see any value in having it...at least not in my home.
