Feature Suggestion

Not sure where I should post this, but since I am now running the HR44 (Genie) that offers P-in-P, found the need for a new feature or shortcut. In order to turn on picture-in-picture, one has to go to the info menu, go to the right end, and then turn it on. Seems like a lot of work to turn it off and on. In cases of watching 2 sporting events, for example, one may have the need to turn it on and off several different times such as during intermission or half time or even commercials when you want to keep the still-live game full screen whereas the other buffer's programming isn't showing game action.

A suggestion would be to use something like the left arrow button to be able to toggle picture-in-picture ON and OFF. This button's shortcut feature would ONLY be used for picture-in-picture. Ideas or suggestion? I have not actually found a real shortcut for turning off and on picture-in-picture without the multi-step method using the INFO screen and many button presses. Are these suggestions something that we can send in for possible incorporation into the Genie system?

 

I know the left arrow is used for that, but was trying to think of something that can be used for this shortcut. If the left arrow was used, for example, the 'back' button feature could be superceded by the 'turn PIP on/off' function was my idea. Was just saying a 1 button shortcut for this would be very nice and save a lot of extra button presses.
