The main and PIP channels must be from the same antenna A or B; you cannot have the main picture from Antenna A and the PIP picture from Antenna B. However, inputs can use PIP regardless if Antenna A or B is used for the main or PIP picture. You will only be able to use the PIP window and main picture with analog channels.
