ABSTRACT:
A system for providing a user controllable picture-in-picture formatted signal to a television is provided with a fast modem that interconnects the system with a computer network, such as the Internet. In order to allow a user to interact with the Internet, yet still enjoy video programming, the system has a picture-in-picture selection that a user controls to determine which video source (e.g., digital satellite signal, digital video disk signal, Internet graphics) will form the main picture displayed on the television, and which will form the picture-in-picture. A conventional television may be used with the system to display the signal, since it is already formatted in a picture-in-picture format at the output of the system.
