since I upgraded to a cable card the PiP doesn't work. What's the deal??

Does your TV has two tuners?
Cablecard allows you to see scrambled channels. Since you have only one card, you can only see one "premium" channel at a time. However, if the TV has two tuners, you should be able to see one more free/basic channel.

Some TVs have 2 RF inputs (Ant A and B). You may have had a splitter installed previously with one line going from the splitter to antenna B and the other to the cable box and then to antenna A. This enabled you to watch all channels on antenna A and non-premium channels on antenna B as the PIP. When they upgraded you I bet they removed the second input line. You can solve this by installing a 2 way splitter from the RF cable coming from the wall with one output going to antenna A and one to antenna B. This should restore this function. There may be a diagram in your owners manual to give you a visual diagram of this hook-up
