How to Set Up Multi-Screen IPTV Viewing (Multiview)
Imagine watching 4 different football matches simultaneously on one screen. That is what IPTV multiview lets you do. Whether you are tracking multiple games on matchday or monitoring several news channels at once, multi-screen IPTV viewing is a game-changer. Here is how to set it up.
What is IPTV Multiview?
Multiview (also called multi-screen or picture-in-picture) lets you display multiple live channels on your screen at the same time. Instead of switching back and forth between channels, you see them all at once in a grid layout.

Step-by-Step: TiviMate Multiview Setup
Step 1: Open TiviMate and start playing any channel.
Step 2: Press the multiview icon (grid icon) on the remote or screen overlay.
Step 3: Choose your layout - 2-screen (side by side), 3-screen (one large, two small), or 4-screen (equal grid).
Step 4: Select a channel for each screen position from the channel list.
Step 5: Use your remote D-pad to switch focus between screens. Press OK on the focused screen to make it full-screen.

FAQs About IPTV Multiview
Does multiview work on Firestick?
Yes, TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro both support multiview on Firestick. However, the Firestick 4K Max handles 4-screen multiview better than older Firestick models.
Can I use multiview for different sports?
Absolutely! The most popular use is watching 4 football matches simultaneously during busy matchdays. You can mix any channels across the screens.
Does each screen use a separate stream?
Yes, each screen uses its own independent stream. This is why you need proportionally more bandwidth for multiple screens.
