    Elite picture in picture problem.

    I was wondering. Do I need 2 servers to be running the same time for the pip feature to work on the sonic view elite.

    It works great but when I want to use that feature picture in picture. ( watch 2 shows at the same time). The other channel doesn't work unless I switch over to the other channel.

    I was thinking maybe I need 2 server for this since its 2 tuners.

    Need two coax from the dish but Don't think a split screen happens so yes a change to the second channel needed.

    I do have 2 coax running from the lnb.
    The smaller screen (pip) just shows the blue background There's no picture in it its, like If its frozen or something. I would use either tuner and it does the same thing.

    I could switch over and it shows the picture but same scenario on the small screen. No picture

    I might just need another server to be running. I just don't know if anyone has had this problem.

    Another server will not help and if memory serves me that receiver never worked right with two tuner setup.

    I see. I guess it's gonna be one of those things that is going to be left alone.

    I love the feature that it does record any show while I'm watching another channel. That's very cool feature. I could even record two shows at a time but I have to be stuck watching either of those shows. I just wished this receiver would be HD. That would be kick ass.
