EyeTV 2.3.2: Picture-in-Picture

EyeTV 2.3.2 adds Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support. The minimum system requirements for PiP support are Mac OS X 10.4.7 and a graphics card with a minimum of 64 MB of VRAM.

You must have two video windows open to use PiP:

1) A Live TV window and a recording window
2) Two Live TV windows
3) Two recordings windows. 

To have two Live TV windows, you need to have multiple tuners - perhaps by using a device like EyeTV Diversity (which has two tuners for DTT), or two EyeTV devices connected to your Mac (which is not fully supported).  See this FAQ article for the limitations of using multiple devices:

There are 3 different ways to enter Picture in Picture mode:

1) Select Picture in Picture from EyeTV’s View menu.
2) Press Control-Shift-P on the keyboard.
3) Use the contextual menu while EyeTV is playing back with two player windows.

You can also enable and control PiP from within EyeTV’s Full Screen Menu. In Full Screen Menu select Recordings, and start playback of a recording. Enter the Full Screen Menu and select Picture in Picture, and then Show.

EyeTV will display both player windows. The sound will come from the larger, primary player window. Move the mouse over the secondary window to display the four commands available:

Off — toggles off PiP display
Rotate — cycles placement of the secondary window between the following positions:

top left corner
top right corner
bottom right corner
bottom left corner
vertical split screen
horizontal split screen
second monitor (if available)

Swap — swaps the content of primary and secondary windows
Focus — playback controls affect secondary window
