Abstract

See full text

A system and method permits time-shifting or recording for any tuner input, regardless of whether the tuner input is being used for POP (or PIP) or main viewing window. This allows POP (or PIP) video modes and recording to an external recording device to be carried out simultaneously. In one example system and method, a switch is controlled in accordance with a control program of the television to dynamically select which inputs are routed to the main and sub viewing windows.
