Does Channels have Picture in Picture on the new Google Streamer 4K? Google boasts about “limited” PIP support on the Streamer and I’m wondering if that’s enough to get PIP working for Channels. PIP doesn’t exist period on the Chromecast 4K and this would be enough to make me upgrade.
I don't know if it did, but tonight it does!!! I know I played with some settings a few days ago, so I'm still not sure if it was something I changed and just took a couple days to properly sequence or propagate, or there was an update to channels or gtv.
attached the global settings I have set

Just to confirm, this enabled PIP on your Streamer, correct? I had heard that Google only added limited support for PIP on the Streamer. There is no support at all on my Chromecast 4K.
I have the streamer4k and a couple months ago when i moved to channels, I couldn't seem to get pip to work. at some point i could make it work for guide only, and only when watching live channel. (which i never do) changeing it to system the other day made it work anytime just by hitting the back button. also now lets me back out to gtv and use non-streaming apps all while keeping the pip going. 
maybe I'll borrow my dads chromecast and see what happens.
With this feedback I went ahead and bought the Streamer. Thanks!
