I have recently purchased a Sony KV32S66 television. I cannot seem to use the 2 tuner PIP due to the fact that I use a cable box. Is their any way I can use this feature while using the box? Thanks for any help you can offer.

I actually bought a splitter sort of takes care of it.
I split it right where it comes in. One goes to the cable box, the other directly to the TV.
Then the cable box runs to the receiver to do all of the audio/video switching and then to the TV from there.
So I get 2 tuner PIP, but I only get the channels that a TV would pick up without the cable box (no PPV, only 2 HBO - instead of the 7 or 8 that we have, only 1 Starz, only 1 Encore, etc)...
It still does what I need it to do...

I've got the exact same tv and did exactly what the previous post said. I've used the PIP maybe twice since I bought it, though.
Enjoy the Sony--it's one great set.
