Now you’ll learn how to control what appears in the full-screen view and the smaller, PIP view.
CONTROLLING THE PIP WINDOW
The remote control’s CH CTRL (Channel Control) button lets you choose which view—PIP or full-screen—is selected. (The CH CTRL button is in the bottom row of buttons on the remote, right next to the PIP button.)
Channel Control button
When you first press the PIP button and the PIP window appears, the full-screenview—not the PIP window—accepts control from the remote. You must press the CH CTRL button to switch control to the PIP window.
To change the channel in the PIP window:
PIP – continued
N O T E To view the PIP window, the main TV picture must be at full- screen size, not the small picture shown in the TV Home screen. If necessary, select the picture in TV Home, then press OK.
PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)
Picture-In-Picture, or PIP, lets you simultaneously view one channel at full-screen size and a second channel in a small window.
To make full use of the PIP feature, you must have two satellite cables connected to the back of your RCA®-DIRECTV™Receiver with UltimateTV® Service. If you have only one satellite cable connected, you can still display a PIP window while watching live TV, but you will not see a TV picture in it. If you have one satellite cable connected and are watching a recorded show, you can view a live show in the PIP window. (See the Setup Guide for information on connecting your receiver to a satellite dish antenna.)
DISPLAYING A PIP WINDOW
You can display a PIP window any time you’re watching full-screen TV. (You can also watch TV in a PIP window while you’re surfing the Web; see the Web section of this guide for more information.)
To view a PIP window:
While watching a program at full-screen size, press the PIP button on the remote control or keyboard.
A small window appears on the screen, overlaying part of the full-screen view.

2Press the CH+ or CH- button or use the number buttons to change channels in the PIP window.
The selected channel’s number briefly appears in the PIP window, then the program on that channel appears in the PIP window.
