So this is the first box I have seen with an HDMI Input - just wondering what other owners of this box are using it for? Is there any advantage of using this as opposed to a spare HDMI input from the tv? Is it purely for convenience?

PIP (in its various modes) is one usage.
It's supposed to be working for recording & transcoding (not sure if that's operational already).

Ah! Was wondering if it might take a Sky box input to use the VIX interface as opposed to the Sky one?

I tried suggestions in post u linked to.. You have to edit the bouquet. Please insert this:
#SERVICE 8192:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:
#DESCRIPTION Xtrend HDMI 2 Input..
I'm not getting any picture from my Chromecast connected to HDMI in.. Does #description have to be xtrend hdmi 2 input or am I missing something??
A bit more testing.. Seems to be a problem with Chromecast itself as no issues showing content on input 2 from Xbox or PlayStation connected.. Disappointed as this would have been a good way to use Chromecast ..
I can hear sound track when connected but no picture..
Your problem with the Chromecast is HDMI HDCP copy protection, I had the same problem with a Chromecast and a Roku3, you need a little box of tricks in between.
This one works great

Is there any lag in terms of video - if i connected xbox and used pip feature would the xbox game be reponsive or would it appear laggy?
Also if i connected apple tv, firstly would the apple tv appear without a hdcp stripper and secondly will i be able to record videos using pvr feature on the mutant after playong the, on vevo for example?
Thanks
