RN I have flat screen TV with pip but no idea how to use it. I never use anything but the cable remote. I bet hubby knows, though.

RN, let's say you're watching Survivor. They go to commercial, so you get bored and want to check out other channels. By pushing PIP, you'll maintain a small picture of the channel Survivor is on (but it will be soundless), and can freely use the up/down channel buttons to find something else. You'll know exactly when the Survivor channel returns from commercial.

When you want to return to Survivor, hit the on/off PIP button.

That's how mine works anyways!

RN, it may say SWAP or something. Got a manual? It should tell you how to get it. My actual digital remote (cable) has the button on it, too. There's always Google!

RN Huk, you made me look. I also have the pip button on my cable remote. That tells you how often I think about using pip. LOL

RN, there are a bazillion Sony Bravia models. I found one user manual and it didn't list picture-in-picture at all. I'd be happy to keep trying to find out your answer if I knew the model.

RN Hubby just got called into work. He was almost asleep since tomorrow is the day he works both jobs. Oh well, that's the price he pays for the great job...always on call. He is their only IT guy.

RN, sorry Mictay, I got sidetracked. On page 27 of your user manual, it explains what options you have.

* While watching a TV channel, press OPTIONS. That makes the channel you're watching, your main channel.

* Press the up or down arrow and you'll see choices called PIP and P&P.
It looks like PIP is used for displaying both a TV picture and a screen from your personal computer. This will show you one large picture and a small one within it.
P&P displays two equally sized pictures side by side, and it looks like this is the option for displaying two TV channels.

* Highlight the P&P option, and then press the + button to display other TV channels in the sub window (the little one).

* Use the CH +/- button to change channels in the little screen.

* If you want to swap and have the little screen become your main screen, use the left and right arrows. As with most PIPs, the only sound will come from the big picture.

You can play around with it and see whether or not PIP will work for two TV channels or if it is ONLY for a TV channel and your PC. That's what is confusing to me.

So use the PIP if you want to hook up your PC to the TV. You can work on your computer and see it on the TV screen and have a mini TV screen showing at the same time. The swap feature works the same.

When you don't want PIP or P&P any more, press OPTIONS again, and press + to exit the mode you are in. Have fun with this!

RN I just read Vincent and Dick Donato having a knock-down drag out over on mySpace. Hey, they put it out there!

RN I have to prepare for an interview tomorrow, which should mean that I get to sleep at a reasonable hour. We'll see about that.

RN I'm going to scan one of my designs and make it my profile pic. It's a little birdie that I drew and them screenprinted. It needs some props! (The birdie, not me!)

RN, Ny, I just took a look at your profile. Your bird is beautiful! I couldn't draw a stick man to save my life, I envy folks like you. All my creativity comes in written form.

RN I just checked out your birdie Nyheat...very cool. I to wish I could draw like that.

RN I am dreaming about having my Christmas shopping done. I am feeling stressed about finding the time to shop and just wish it was finished.

RN I'm a little perturbed. I had an appt with a new doc today at 11:30 and was told to call first. So I called and they said he's not in yet and to call back in an hour. Apparently, he's the head of his department at the hospital and that's why his office hours are sketchy. I've been up for hours so I could take an early shower so my hair would be mostly dry before leaving the house. I'm not so sure I want to stick with this doctor and have to always go through this for every appt. I'm wondering if I should look for another ear, nose, and throat doctor.

RN: Twinkie, trust your instincts on Doctors, always.

RN: I am still cringing from the sound I woke up to this morning. Big Brown Dog started gagging at about 6 this morning. I jumped outta bed and hollered at him to RUN BOO RUN, and he ran toward the back door, but didn't make it. Thank god he threw up on the hardwood instead of the carpet....gross.

RN I think that's a good idea Twinkie! Your time is valuable too.

RN I feel really out of it. The interview was really a challenge today as I feel really tired, achy, and flu-ey. First off, my two portfolios weigh a ton and I had to walk to the train station in the rain in semi-uncomfortable shoes. I was half an hour late and had to fill out tons of paperwork. When I finally met the interviewer she called me out for being late, which I totally deserved.

The interview ended up going well---we both used to be teachers and whatnot. I told her I was sick also. But I came away feeling very manipulative. :-(

I'm very glad to be home.
