    I've got a TV hooked up via HDMI cables to a laptop HTPC, a Freesat box and a DVD player (mostly unused these days). Sometimes, I'd like to see what's happening on say the HTPC without leaving the Freesat channel. So it'd be handy to have a little PIP or split screen or something. It seems like a thing that should be possible to do, but I'm not able to articulate my Google search well enough to see if this is really a thing.

    Look at the manual for the TV set, it's where PIP usually works from. But from memory newer TV's only work with analogue PIP.
    Some AV recivers have it as a feature.
