PIP is certainly possible with HD TVs, just no demand to justify including this fad any more. I think my Dish receiver has some similar capability, but I have never tried to find out or use it.

I've always had good visual attention span for media multitasking....Hell I can put 2-3 VHS EP tapes 6-8 hours long in separate decks on high speed visual search fast forward simultaneously with the sets they are connected to clustered and pickout the show I want to find from the 3 rapidly moving images...Also I've probably written a books worth of posts on this forum while also watching TV. *Another thing that is common is to watch the same show on two sets at once. The reasons being every set is a bit different and some excell on different image content and fill in for eachother, and also if one tube set craps out mid program on something I'm watching live (which has happened more than once) I can just switch it off and let the other set soldier on.

I have the portable version of those 1969 Sony B&W's, they are good sets. Got it for $10 30 years ago.

In that era, the TV sports nut is who these sets were really marketed to. The post above, goes into detail why.

Beside the ideea of an P.i.P., you could the small screens for C.C.T.V. In one old image from an catalogue an lady was watching tv and on one of the small screens appeared an baby sleeping - so she could watch tv while kept an eye on the baby that was sleeping in another room.

Very few people used PIP. MGA sets had a PIP module that always failed.
You could change all the surface mount caps on it or remove it & add 2 caps. Given a choice NOBODY ever wanted the PIP. Baby monitors were one useful thing. Zenith made security kits you could use with PIP or a monitor. I never sold one but they were there. Radio monitors go back to at least the 30's & I think Zenith called them radio nurses. Trouble is most people put the babies crib in there bedroom. In the 70's baby monitor listening became a very popular hobby. I think you could imagine the content enuf fer now 73 Zeno LFOD ! Quote:
