YouTube TV Getting Ability to Split Into 4 Screens

[Acylum]

Credit to you people who can do this. I've tried multiple TV setups and I can't stand trying to focus on multiple things at the same time.

I can see this being the case for me also.

I have two monitors set up. My wife will put me down if I watch 8 games at once.

The possibilities are really endless. I hope they nail this.

I'm sure I'm not alone, but 20 years ago I had a multi-cable box/multi-TV setup just for sports. It was great but it eventually got expensive as cable prices and add-ons (such as additional boxes and sport packs) ballooned in price. I got tired of paying for it and ditched it. Always wanted it back but wasn't willing to pay $200+/month to do it.

Looking forward to having it back and not having to pay a zillion dollars under contract to do it.

Sounds like the perfect setup for March Madness (that's the whole reason I got a second monitor in the first place)

PSVue had this it was perfect for football and basketball. Hope it's rolled out soon

Can we get this with Dish TV?

If it's an excuse for them to jack up the price some more, I'm out.

Good news, all it takes is a few clicks

I’m all for multiple games at once, but I’m not a fan of that happening on the same screen.

I tend to use it as a commercial break fill for the game I'm watching. Once the ISU game goes to commercial back out to the multi-screen view

Picture in picture was in the 90's for some reason it never took off. Had a tv with it loved it during the FB and BB season.

Big screens weren't as common, and HD was just coming in.

I can see that.

If she's like mine she'll always find something else so it might as well be for something that matters like this.

Only 1 game goes on the TV when ISU is playing. Outside of that, I would LOVE this as an option for casual viewing

ISU on the main screen, 4 on the other.

This will hammer other streaming services for football fans.

Geez. It's just a browser with four iframes. The key obstacle was the subscription ability. That said, I'm shocked you're all wowed over this. Technically an easy do. Legally a bit more difficult. Marketing wise, the biggest leap. Also of note, I heard on the radio today just recently for the first time, 'streaming' had more viewers than either OTA or cable. So, multiple screens means multiple banner advertising which means more exposure and bigger $$$. So, in the end, what took them so long?

If this is good quality, that might make me move to youtube tv from Hulu.
It wont work on my tv anyway.

Agreed- I think I could somewhat follow 2 games…no way I’m doing 4.

And still no 5.1 sound.

Wish Apple TV or Roku would support tiled windows of up to 4 apps. This will be great but with games being so fragmented, that would be ideal.

Get rid of apple. I've had 5.1 for a while now with a $40 device.
