Confused about which one is better, essentially the person is looking for two features apart from USB:

(a) PVR functionality
(b) Picture in Picture

The following are comparisons:

SV-360 Elite CW-800S

Price: $180 $135

PVR yes yes

Picture in ?-A ?-B
Picture

A) Sonicview website (http://www.sonicviewusa.com/) says dual tuners does not claim any picture in picture features

B) CaptiveWorks website (http://www.captiveworks.com/cw800.php)
says it is optional feature

The question for anyone who owns CW-800S is does picture in picture feature works?

For picture in picture feature to work does the TV has to support it or can it work in a TV that has no PIP feature?

Thanks for your input in advance

The CW800: If it's anything like the CW600p, STB handles the PIP not the TV. Not the 'hotest' feature.. you get PIP but it just sweeps the channels in a PIP mode, can't switch back-n-forth between channels like a 'real' PIP from TV tuner

Thanks - then not sure what the dual tuner does in Sonicview SV-360 Elite enables,
probably two different channels can be watched simultaneously on two TV's?

some one posted about it on here you should read that post search here for it.

they said you can recode 2 and watch 1 all at the same time which is crazy.

the captiveworks 800 is not as good as the elite. sonicview premier vs captiveworks 800 thats a fair fight.

any premier users here how do you like it i like my cw800 but i like my vs pro better.
