Watch Two Programs At Once

Watch a soccer game and a basketball game at the same time by using the PIP
feature. The DVR gives you the ability to use PIP even if your TV doesn’t have
PIP. This section provides instructions to:

• Turn the PIP feature on and off

• Change the channel of the PIP screen

• Move the location of the PIP screen

• Swap the main screen and the PIP screen

Tip: To find a key on the remote, open the foldout on the back cover of this guide
to see the illustration of the remote.
