That way when watching tv you can hit that button to switch inputs, and monitor a webcam somewhere in the house. I'm guessing this would actually not be myth related at all since the groundwork is there already for supporting a webcam as along as it is supported in linux. 
 

Actually this works already as most webcam use bttv.  So all you have to do 
is define /dev/videoX in setup.  Then press the button for PIP when you want 
to check webcam.
