We’ve got some great news for sports fans and TV lovers.

Today, we’re launching a new multi-view feature for PlayStation Vue that allows you to watch up to three live channels — all on one screen. With March Madness starting next week, this will be a great way to catch several live games at once from TNT, TBS, TruTV and CBS.* You can also use this feature for any live TV channel available on Vue, such as watching a mix of live news programs or live events at once.

Multi-view will be available on PS4 starting today. The new feature gives you the option to watch and listen to a main TV channel and view up to two additional channels at the same time. Keep an eye on all the action and enjoy mixing and matching your favorite channels.

Doubt my clunky Internet connection can handle it.

Awww yeah
Sundays in front of the TV will be even less productive for me

Great. Get back to me when I can watch on a PS4 in my living room and a PS4 in my basement. Had to buy a Roku to get around this.

Yeah this is a major oversight (Especially with PS4/ PS4 Pro combo people)

Three channels? Elvis would have killed for this.

Oh. And LBJ.

 

[Toki767]

Does this use 3x the bandwidth?

 

[Turbo Killer]

Does this use 3x the bandwidth?

I don't think it will.

 

[Jeels]

PS4 only? Need it on Amazon...

 

[Thats a Greay Area]

This sounds pretty sweet! Would love to hear feedback on channel switching amongst the three being viewed.

 

[Xandremi]

This is pretty cool and i barely watch tv anymore.

 

[brian577]

So is this really out for anyone yet? Update doesn't seem to be available for me.

 

[O_Atoll]

Game changer.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Cool, but PS4 is by far our least used way to watch PSVue since we have a FireTV box.

I'm not expecting most of these features to make it other platforms since we still don't have the video feed on the channel guide.

 

[mike6467]

I'm checking in a few. I wish we could do this with Vue and a web browser (watch sports on one, fantasy stats in the browser, among other things). I know that's not likely, but I guess I don't have much use for multiple vue channels, neat for those who can use it though.

 

[MCD250]

Oh shit that's cool.


Need it on Fire TV tho.

 

[HStallion]

Half way there Sony

 

[HammerOfThor]

I hope this works on DVR too so I can watch DBZ Kai and Super at the same time.

 

[D1renegade]

This. I don't understand why they don't allow any profile on the primary console to watch it.

+1

Also, add me to the list of people dealing with the PS4's shitty wireless adapter: moved my OG PS4 upstairs to use with the Vue service, which is about 10 feet from my wireless, and I'm lucky if get 10mb/s out of my 60mb/s connection.

It's getting close to being my replacement for direct tv. Does it support Dolby digital surround?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Yall got 6 eyes? I like to focus on one thing. How about fixing the problem where it cuts off the end of sporting events.

 

[AmuroChan]

Great feature for sports fans who like to follow multiple games at once. Perfect timing too since March Madness and MLB is just around the corner.

The video has to refresh when you switch audio, but other than that it works well.

 

[Megawarrior]

I suddenly want to renew my vue subscription. This sounds nice.

 

[Afrikan]

Just finding out about this..

I wonder if they will ever be able to let us Game on one of those screens...while being able to keep up with TV/Sports.

Probably not, games have to be suspended for media apps to launch, including Vue.

I actually got the free trial of Vue yesterday and immediately threw on a basketball game. The quality seemed pretty good but I noticed the video hitching a bit. Might just have been my laptop's distance from the router. Do you guys who use this have good experiences over wifi?

Yes. I have never issues at all.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Wow their prices are actually pretty good.
