Picture in Picture (PiP)

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more

When using the TV guide a PiP (mini screen) appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen blocking about 20% of the available programme listings.  Whilst I have no problem with the PiP in principle and often find it useful I just think it is in entirely the wrong place.  

 

Is it just me being pedantic or do others think moving the PiP to the top right corner would be an improvement and would not block the programme listing?  Some may prefer to have it removed entirely, who knows?

I also agree. Is there no way of removing it?

Hi @Iggyman Every day is a school day.  As you describe it works but unfortunately you have to do it every time.  As you say it's a bit of a pain and personally I probably wouldn't bother.

 

The actual PIP can be quite useful it's just in the wrong place on the screen.
