Twin TV (Optional)
If your computer has two TV tuner cards installed, the Twin TV (i.e.: picture-in-picture) feature becomes
available. When turned on, this feature inserts a smaller screen that displays a second TV channel while
you watch a TV program in the larger screen. This function is especially useful for keeping track of the end
of commercial breaks that occur during the TV program you are watching.
To turn the Twin TV feature on, click
Twin TV
or the

button
on the playback control panel. A
small screen with a TV display appears in the bottom corner of the main TV page. You can click the
smaller screen at any time to switch the display between the large and small screens.
To turn the Twin TV feature off, click
Twin TV
or the
Twin TV
button
on the playback control panel a
second time.
