TV with no PIP - Is there an alternative?

Hi everyone,

I am looking into purchasing the Sharp Aquos LC-46D62U but the only
thing I am hesitating about it is the fact that it lacks Picture-In-
Picture. If I do end up getting this TV, is there an alternative
device that I can get to include this feature? Perhaps a PVR device
that supports PIP or something like that.

My idea is to play PS3 on the big screen while I have a TV show on the
small screen of PIP so I can watch both at the same time.

Any advice or answers are appreciated.

Thanks!

you can use an external tuner with PIP built into it,
"stand alone"
there are a variety of manufacturers one cheapest

however, you may want to get a HD tuner with sophisticated
features and there should be game input jacks available on those.
research required on this...
