Re: Can two tuners do this?

The tuner cards have nothing to do with the implementation of PIP. If you
have two tuner supported by MCE then MCE can import data from both of them
at the same time. It is up to MCE developed in Redmond to then provide the
PIP capability just like the MS Silicon Valley developted Ultimate TV system
did for DTV dual tuners years ago.

Many do (if not all major ones): ATI's, Leadtech's, retail software...
But what did I buy MCE for?

I have MCE 2005. If I add a second tuner, would it only be used for
recording while watching a different channel, or can I watch two
different
channels at the same time?
From the above answers we know MCE doesn't support PIP. What I'd like to
know is if any tuner software out there does? In other words, is it a
fault
of MS for not putting it in, or are the tuner cards not capable?
