A system and method permits time-shifting or recording for any tuner
input, regardless of whether the tuner input is being used for POP (or
PIP) or main viewing window. This allows POP (or PIP) video modes and
recording to an external recording device to be carried out
simultaneously. In one example system and method, a switch is controlled
in accordance with a control program of the television to dynamically
select which inputs are routed to the main and sub viewing windows.
