I did not really read it anywhere as much as I tried it and figured out
there was a problem.  The reason you can't have pip (yet?... ever?...
anyone?) i believe is that the tv-out of the 350 cannot be scaled in
size.  You just send a mpeg stream to it and it puts it on the tv
screen.

Hence you can not have the preview of recorded shows, nor the small
preview screen on the epg, nor the pip.

Anyway, I could be way off but that is what I think is going on.

I hope I'm wrong and there is a work-around...

ps:  there's something wrong with your "reply-to" field in you
emails...  I think you want it to be mythtv-users at mythtv.org when you
are posting to the list.
