What does s.c. need to do to make pip possible on tv with 2 tuners.

If you only have satellite then you would need another *C receiver hooked up to be the 2nd tuner. The 2 tuners built into the tv are for cable tv only.

Is it possible with the 530 DVR thingee?

 

[GaryE]

Nope. 2nd tuner on the 530 is only for recording purposes. You can't view the 2nd tuner.

Gary, what about using a 500 or 400 series receiver, excluding 530?

 

[satellite]

You need 2 receivers.

The receiver itself is only capable of tuning to one channel at a time. Therefore, you need 2 receivers hooked up properly to your dish to allow you to watch 2 different channels for PIP, the same way you'd need two receivers to watch different channels on different TV's.
