How to watch TV and use my laptop at the same time with hdmi cable in Windows 8?

I figure out how to have full screen using the hdmi cable, but I still dont know how to be capable to watch something on TV, and use my laptop at the same time (for example, if my dad wants to watch tennis using the hdmi cable on tv while connecting the hdmi cable to both the tv and my laptop so that the streaming video can be shown on the TV, how can he watch tennis while Im using the PC? I have tried this, but I only found a way that he can watch TV, but I wont be capable to use the laptop). I still dont know how to program this correctly so that I can watch TV (or someone else) while Im using the computer at the same time. By the way, I have a Lenovo computer from the G505s series with Windows 8 (model number 20255).

I dont think Andrew S quite understood your dilemma. You do not need PIP on your TV to do what you want to do.
1. Connect your laptop to your TV using HDMI.
2. Go to the Desktop screen on your laptop. That the one without the tiles.
3. *I believe, your PC has an AMD graphic card. So open AMD Catalyst. If you cant find it, download it from here: http://www.amd.com/u/products/technologie/amd-catalyst/Pages/catalyst.aspx
4. Then you can drag around the screen to fit your needs. Remember that you do not want the screens to mirror each other.
5. Open the video stream. Drag the window to either the right or left, and youll see enter your TV screen.
6. Now you can use the laptop as you usually would.

*If you do not have the AMD card as I thought, go to the desktop. Then right click, select Screen Resolution. And then you can proceed starting with #4.

Youll need a TV with picture-in-picture support, which displays one input full screen and the other in one corner. That used to be quite common but its getting rarer these days - some Sonys have it as do some of the Samsung smart TVs. Check your TVs manual to see if it has the option, but as noted isnt common, and when I wanted to replace my bedroom TV about 18 months ago I had to actively hunt down TVs that offered it.

Yes u can. After you connect the hdmi cable, pres the function and another button in the f1-12 area not sure which one. It look like a little screen.
