When I am watching TV, these are the four options I have to put my picture in picture (PIP):



There is absolutey no reason why the PIP can't be moved to here:



However, if Cablevision cared about their customers, they'd realize that there is all that wasted real estate with the SD-bars on the outside:



Now, considering those two above options aren't being used, I KNOW there is no chance of this last option, but it is the most creative AND efficient:




By sliding the main image all the way to the left, you maximize the potential to use the space for the SD bars. You can put a PIP in the upper corner, and then use the lower corner for advertisements, scrolling information/weather, etc etc.
