It works pretty well. A couple of minor things I've noticed:
1. When you fast forward/rewind in the pip window, the sound is muted in
the main window when I don't thing there is a need to.
2. When the PIP window has focus, it won't let you change directly to a
channel number that has 2 or more digits i.e. typing 10 goes to channel
1
Both mythfrontend and mythbackend seem fairly unstable when changing
channels with PIP in use. I've had them crash several times on me.
One other thing I have noticed is that the pip placement can be strange:
if you use the zoom function to make a 4:3 DVB picture fill the screen,
then the pip may be half off-screen (the OSD suffers the same effect).
I'm not sure whether this is due to 4:3 DVB being transmitted as 16:9
with black bands or what.
