Samsung 32" PIP

Hi,

I'm not sure of the exact model, but when you press PIP on the remote it splits the screen. I can then change some options in the menu to do with PIP (watch 2 channels at once).

I want to be able to play on the Xbox and watch TV at the same time.

When I go to the Xbox channel (HD) and press PIP it comes up with a blank box, I then check the options to try change the channel and it doesn't work

So I go to Sky (Ext1) and turn on PIP, it gives me options so I set PIP to HD, that changes Sky to the HD and keeps the second screen black rather than the second screen to the HD channel.

Any ideas how to work PIP properly please?

Thanks,
Craig.

You will need to use a TV tuner with a HDMI output I think if you're using the component connection for the 360. Otherwise get the VGA cable for the 360 and you'll be able to view the Scart inputs via PIP while you play xbox

Hmm, when I turn on PIP it says something about HDMI in the top left corner, so shouldn't it just show the XBox in the extra screen anyway?

I'll put it onto the PC (VGA) channel and see what it does when I press PIP, thanks
