Just a little question from a first time poster. Does the R15 have Picture-in-Picture capability, being that there are two tuners present? I tired to do a search before I asked this, but I was unable to locate an answer.

Thanks,

Sorry no. Not even sure if that's on the developer's list of ToDo's.

Surely DTV would rather get another $4.99 mirroring fee for PIP. Since we can't view both tuners without recording two shows at once and going through myVOD, I'd doubt it is even on their radar.

IIRC there was only on DTV receiver that could output two signals at once. Hard to believe E* has done it for a long time...

UTV had PIP. It was a ncie way to switch between tuners or follow two games at once.

No there currently is no PiP and no one is sure if it will ever be added. Looks like its something most old UTV users really liked. Wouldn't bother me to have it either :)

I vote for having it. For what that's worth. Do E* units have PIP?

The UTV had PIP but not dual outputs, the unit it self did the PIP. I think it's E* that give you the choice of PIP (on the unit) or dual outputs (PIP thru the TV or run the output to another room).

You can still have the 2nd output to a different TV, the receiver comes with 2 remotes, 1 IR 1 RF but you can still do a PIP. As I have stated, my girlfriends cable DVR has PIP capability, really nice.

Don't you have the option to mirror the picture on both tv's (with PIP) or a different output on each TV with no PIP? Just wondering, I've never seen it and it sound neat.
