Question : What kind of splitter do I need to get PIP to work on our LCD flat screen TV?
We just got a new Samsung LCD flat screen that has PIP capability. We couldn’t get it to work so I called their tech support. They told me I needed to get a splitter and to get it at radio shack. I would rather get it on Ebay, but I need to know exactly what its called so I can search for it. Can someone please help me out. Thanks!! ![]()

So was the answer on the same question you got yesterday not acceptable to you? (which is too bad as it was the correct answer)
The first issue here is you have failed to provide enough information for anyone to give you a complete answer. We need to know where your TV signal is currently coming from and how it is connected to the TV.
PIP will work in every TV with that capability if and only if you have a connection to the coaxial antenna input plus a connection to one of the TVs AV inputs. Some models may have additional capabilities beyond this, but again, other than telling us your TV is a Samsung LCD, you have not even given us a model number.
PIP only works for the co-ax cable inputs. This is the cable you’d use if you were using an antenna, or “basic cable” (no cable box).
So you need a co-ax cable splitter, like this:

DON’T buy it from Radio Shack though. They charge way too much. You really shouldn’t have to pay more than $ 3-5 (AT MOST) for a splitter. Check Walmart or your local electronics store (NOT RADIO SHACK)
