2nd screen issue
Mar 2, 2014 4:57PM PST

The issue I'm having is the same when I go to press where the 2nd screen should be displaying it says it can't display on current input mode. I'm assuming there is a certain mode it needs to be in to view the 2nd screen?

2nd screen only works on freeview input

2nd screen only works on freeview input such as over the air tv transmission.

Plug in your tv antenna, and it will work. Will not work on HDMI or USB input due to copyright issue.
That is a pity.
