How long will we have to wait for Verizon FIOS to upgrade their existing clunky oversize "set top" boxes to allow Picture in PIcture (PIP)?  Since we are told the existing set top boxes cannot provide PIP, why not just offer us PIP hungry customers a different box, like the Scientific American's. 

Its high time for Verizon to not drop the ball on this one. If the existing boxes cannot handle such a simple function that Comcast customers in my area have had for years, I will be forced to switch to Comcast to resolve this. I bought a TV with PIP functionality deliberately, like so many others have. If the digital age involves rolling back technologies, why did we switch again?

I am forced  to presume Verizon FIOS wants me to rent yet another box and split the signal before it enters my set top box,, and live with SD and a limited channel lineup and no guide. Nope. Its like we are still in the stone age. Why is there a PIP button on my remote, anyways? 

Its also high time to abandon the name set top box.  If a single customer can get the set top box on top of the existing flat panel high definition TV, please post a picture so we can all get a good laugh.

Probably the biggest loss when I selected Verizon FIOS was the loss of picture in picture capability.  Although my set is PIP capable, it is unusable.  How hard would it be to make the technology available for us?????????

Why can Cablevision have PIP thru the set top box and FIOS cannot?  C'mon!  Just do it already!

Can Verizon add a PIP feature that works like the one Comcast has?  Using a single cable feed, the softare on the box was able to provide PIP features to your TV.  You could watch two HD feeds at once... very handy when watching sports.  This would be a great addition.  Please make it so users have the option to select where the PIP window goes and how big it can be.

I had PIP with Dish Network for years so I don't know why it's so hard for Verizon who's supposed to be the cream of the crop to enable this feature.  Please get it done!

I was shocked to switch from Cox to Verizon and learn that there was no Picture in Picture capability. This is ridiculous. If I had known about this ahead of time, I would have thought twice about signing up with Verizon.

I too swithed from COX only to find out there's no PIP. When I called support to figure out what was going on, they went through a few steps and then hung-up the phone! They called back and let it ring one time and hung-up before I could answer. I guessing this is so they could techically say they tried to call me back. Nice support Verizon.

git r done

What the hell are we waiting for with this?  I had picture in picture with Cablevision like 5+ years ago and it was simple and easy and I could watch 2 games at once.  This is nonsense.  GET IT DONE!

Just switched to FiOS.  Had PIP on Time Warner Cable.  Absolutely insane that a feature this simple and common is not on Verizon.  Verizon should be embarrassed.

Can Verizon post a comment as to whether this PIP request is being acted upon?
