One thing that comes to mind is football and baseball games. There are
enough pauses between plays in both those sports that it is easily
possible to follow two games at once, even if one of them has no sound.
I would be very happy to be a tester when this new feature is available;
I pretty much quit using PIP since it only worked for Live TV. It sounds
like that might not be the case any more either, I should look into it
