I googled it. Results may not be current but I couldn't find a single TV that let you Picture in Picture two HDMI devices at once.

Xbox One does. So, as you know, watching Satellite and playing a game, Watching WWE and browsing the web, etc are all possible at once! Pretty nice, eh?

some do, alternatively you can run component cables from the sky/cable box, or hdmi to DVI on either cable box or console, plenty of options.
Personally, I use an multiview splitter that lets me display up to 4 full hd hdmi sources at once on the same 4K set.

Why settle for two when you can run tv, xbox one, ps4 and wiiu all on the same screen, even lets you mux the audio or select which individual audio streams to mix.

But can you do all that at $275? 😒

Yeah, my TV actually does let me watch component and HDMI--but that wasn't what we were talking about.

You proved your point, though. I can afford one but I don't see the need for a 4k TV, yet. I don't have anything that supports such a high resolution. But for a free bonus in a video game console, the ability to "snap" is a nice little addition, wouldn't you agree?

It is but I never use it, i find the snap functionality on the xbox one to be more of an irritation than anything.

most of the time i dont actually watch tv, i ust have my consoles hooked up to my gaming rig via dual port hdmi capture cards, but then, i've always been partial to strange setups.

They probably aren't. They might even be taking a loss. Maybe they're hoping for huge software sales to make up for it. Which makes me wonder: does Xbox still have that huge attach rate that it had last gen?
