PIP / multiple shows on at once

[bald]

Considering adding additional pvr250/150 to my setup for 2+ tuners (current is a pvr250). Couple of can i's:

1) picture-in-picture? with some way to swap the audio back and forth? Way to make each feed take up 1/2 the screen etc? And if this is possible, can you do it with 3-4-5 etc tuners? Also, if possible, can it be done in full screen UI? Don't really want to have to resort to windowed mode using a mouse etc. very unelegant (if you can even do that in 3.5).

2) Flip back and forth between two live shows, say on channels 2 and 3 without specifically recording the shows. ie, just start watching channel 2, then flip to 3, and btv is smart enough to keep timeshifting channel 2 with the 2nd tuner? Thinking mostly of flipping back and forth between football games and being able to timeshift after changing channels.

3) also, completely unrelated, but is there a jump/flashback to last channel function in btv that i'm just missing?

Want to do this since i output to a 90" X1 display and running up to 4 displays at once would still give me huge displays. A way to rewind those feeds separately and swap the audio back and forth would be awesome. I'm not too interested in recording two shows at once, recording one while watching the other etc. I prefer to watch football more or less live. If none of these are possible, any plans to enhance the multiple tuners?

bump. no one?

1. No.
2. Don't thinks so.
3. Yes the letter 'L' (for last).

2 - No. Would be a nice feature though. As it stands now, you would have to be recording both channels and switch back and forth between the live recordings. Not very pretty.

There have been many calls for PIP (seems like it would be easy enough). I'd love to see it in a upcoming release.
