[mythtv-users] PiP Questions, second tuner selection ??

PiP seems to select the "next" tuner for display in the window, since  
I have cable going into tuners 1-3 and satellite into tuner 4, I'd  
like to be able to select a different PiP source.

Is there a way to select which tuner drives the window display ?? I  
can use the "Y" command to get to tuner 3, then select "V" for PiP,  
which works, but is somewhat inflexible.

In fact, the "Y" command to change tuners does not seem to work while  
displaying PiP. It's as if the system assumes that there are only two  
tuners when in PiP mode.

I also noticed that PiP does not seem to work unless I have  
"standard" (not libmpeg2) mpeg decoding selected, is this normal ?? I  
know it won't work with XvMC.

It would also be great if PiP worked while watching a recording,  
having a live tuner in a window, but I guess that would be a "feature  
request", not a question.
