Works gread on my iPad 6 (2018) and my 2024 MacBook Air.
Love this. Only thing I noticed, I get the three loading ellipses often, even if a channel is not buffering and playing smoothly. This happens while watching remotely.

Noticed a crash on latest prerelease when testing multiview. If you use the multiview feature from within the “All Channels” or “HD Channels”, when you select your first station, the app crashes.
Still working like a champ on all my custom channel collections
Submitted diagnostics from both ipad and ATV
This is incredible!! I’ll be using this as PiP because it does it better. The ability to go all the way into and out of a stream and into another stream is instant because both streams are going at the same time is amazing.
I’d like to see an option launch multichannel from the quick guide by long pressing a channel in the quick guide.
I’d also like to see launching multiview an option that can be attached to red, blue, yellow, green remote buttons and a keyboard shortcut letter that will enter the multiview without first selecting a channel in the guide. Ideally hit the shortcut button and then choose the channels to skip the grid guide all together. Maybe a settings option to change double tapping play/pause button from last channel to launch multi instead. This feature is so good I see my self using it a lot. I just wish there was a faster way to get into it. Of the three options above I think I’d most like the ability to change the previous channel double press play/pause button.
I’m all set for 7 streams when combining my multi4channels channel with this native multichannel.
There appears to also be some audio artifacts related to AGC (auto gain control) somewhere in the audio chain. You can really introduce the symptoms by tuning to the nfl redzone channel. The non sunday splash screen audio is a great test case as it exhibits the problem very consistently. In my case that feed is being piped into channels through a linkpi encoder from another apple tv.
For now Ive confirmed that if I disable surround sound in to channels advanced settings, the audio behavior is much better.
Im happy to assist and test any possible solutions to get surround sound working with multiview.
iPad multiview with those same channels , including redzone, is fantastic. No audio artifacts, drop outs, monophonic issues, etc. very slick performance on my M2 ipad air.
This is great. I use the iPad app primarily on my Mac.
Could the context menu be enabled so a right click could provide the option to remove a channel from the multi view?
Can the volume slider be made visible in multi view mode? And related: Please decouple volume slider from system audio out level when running on Mac
I know you'll keep making improvements but thus far its working great on my Mac. I've been waiting for this feature, will probably enable me to hold on to my HDHR prime tuner with FIOSTV to the bitter end.
While I wasn't able to reproduce this crash, I found your crash report. I've rolled back a recent change that might have caused it. I don't want the app to be unstable for this weekend since this is the best time to try out Mutliview!
Please report back and let us know if it helped:

today its working well and its fast, no lag time.
This is an amazing development and I will be testing on all my compatible devices.
Where multi view is awesome, what really excites me is the thought of having so many streams live at the same time.
One of the things I miss about old, analog cable days was “last channel”. Made it great to flip between sports quickly. Of course that is not practical on modern services as you don’t have channels tuned so quickly and ready to go. With multiview, you do.
When multi views is live, and a full screen video playing with other tuners left live in the background, would it be possible to left/right keypad cycle between full screen channels? This would be amazing.
Channels can flip between last channel by double clicking the play/pause button 
Was not aware. I will give that a test. Have multi view setup on ATVs today. Thanks!
Thats okay all of this will break on Monday after the AppleTV update. Just Kidding!! I hope
watching 
more. This is so amazingly good, for all you android people this alone is worth the price of admission in buying an Apple TV 4K. Really I’m serious.

Good!
If I press the home key to answer the doorbell on AppleTV while watching multiview, the feeds all freeze and don’t resume when returning. Have to exit multiview and then set it back up to resume playing.
Edit: Not sure what’s with the peepers reaction. Just trying to provide feedback as requested, sorry if it’s not helpful
The hope is maybe multiview will make it to Android TV! I can't go to the "dark side".
