TV and PC Simultaneous on One Screen

May 16, 2009 4:14AM PDT

Hello all,

So i have my computer hooked up to an LCD screen. Now, i connected a satellite TV to the same screen.

I can view both seperately. I want to view them simultaneously, side-by-side. For example, half the screen with showing my computer, and the other half playing TV.

Please note: i have both sources connected to one LCD screen, and i don't want to have the TV connected to the CPU.

Thanks.

Does the TV have PIP?

If not, you're done. PC control is the only way.

Coryphaeus,
Thanks for the reply.

You know, the REMOTE has PiP but i can't seem to activate it! (nothing happens when i push the button)

I can't find the technical manual for the TV but it should have it!

Thanks anyways for the reply Happy
