    Hi all

    Im using a standard sky tv box connected to the Sony tv 52" KDL ... by a scart connection but the mini tv box when i choose pip is always black/empty. Dosent seem that I can use the scart for this purpose. So what is the pre requisite for picture in picture where does it look to get the tv input and what am i restricted to? can I tell the tv where to go for the tv input somehow?

    Think you might find that your PIP is restricted to the RF ( COAX ) input.

    Does this mean I cant watch sky tv or any dvd's using pip then? does it mean that I can only watch tv channels from an eg. rabbits ears aerial meaning this function is pretty much a dud?

    Thats it.
    Analog only I am afraid. Dvd on main screen and "RF" on the pip.
    Older TV's could mix and match but allot of the new one's cant esp. any HD stuff.
