My Dish DVR has PIP but I never use it.

Me too, its just a toy/gadget and of no real use to 99%

I don't think we'll ever see another TV in the USA with dual-tuners or split screen or PIP or POP. There just isn't enough demand for it to justify the high cost of incorporating it in a TV.

No...dual tuners ARE a 'MUST have' feature...Too many want antenna TV to save on the budget. Many have basic cable, able to be displayed using the tuner along with antenna. Readily used more than one would think.
