Speaking of multiview... I just discovered this Dell S2722QC includes PIP (and PBP) support, so I popped in an extra AppleTV in HDMI2. The multitasking possibilities now feel endless 
"Yo Dawg, I heard you like multiview so I put multiview in your mulitiview so you can multitask while you work."
Channels DVR + Six stages at Coachella weekends + Kister Method + IPTVX =

Apple TV+ Multiview beta just went live for MLS Season Pass + MLB Friday Night Baseball and it looks beautiful. You can set the grid layout on the fly to 2x2, 1x3, 1x1 and move them around as you like and go to full screen.
Unfortunately, it's only for the Apple TV+ app😢
Thanks. Coachella is awesome.
Ive been putting this integration off. So basic Qs
IPTVX costs a few bucks but it's worth it IMO. And here's the recommended method to sync your channels list from Channels DVR to IPTVX app:
Create a new playlist using "M3U playlist via URL"
Playlist Name: Channels DVR (or whatever you'd like to call it)
Playlist's URL: http://YOUR-CHANNELS-DVR-IP:8089/devices/ANY/channels.m3u?format=hls
EPG’s URL: http://YOUR-CHANNELS-DVR- IP:8089/devices/ANY/guide/xmltv?duration=604800
(obviously replace with your Channels DVR IP address)
Create this playlist once, and it will sync to all of your devices. IPTVX with Multiview works on iPhone, iPad, M1 Macs, and AppleTV.
Thanks for sharing. This is more reasons why we need native multiview in Channels DVR for Live Sports, News, and Concerts.
True, but the interface does look simple and elegant:
If it doesn't expand to tvOS for all apps, let's hope it inspires 3rd party developers like IPTVX, Channels DVR and YouTube TV to add this sort of usability too. Easy, on-the-fly live multiview really is a game-changer for cord-cutters.
Yep. Looks great!
Here are this weekend's live streams, once again from 6 main stages:

Hmm.
Link worked last week but new link shows 6 channels, but none show up in web or on player.
I had to first remove and re-add, in my Channel Collection. Streaming all six now.
Working now. Waited a while and reloaded once. Thanks again. I missed the Friday bands from last time that I like.
I tried both IPTVX and iProTv, purchasing the minimum subscription for the former and just buying the latter. IPTVX works OK, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to show “all channels” as an option when scrolling through the EPG - just my playlists. iProTV doesn’t have that problem, but is annoying in that switching any of the views to full screen completely exits mutliview - the only way to get it back is if you saved it. Neither of them seem to allow for differently-sized views - overall, I’d say none of them seem as good as TiviMate on Android (and both seem more sluggish/less reliable, despite the fact that I’m comparing TiviMate on a Chromecast with Google TV to a 2021 Apple TV 4K). Is there any secret to making these work better? At this point just using the Chromecast for multiview seems like a better option…
Of interest to this topic, YouTube TV has further enhanced their version of Multiview, albeit with pre-selected channel choices: sports, news, business, weather etc.
It's a step in the right direction but obviously still needs more. I was hoping that we'd be able to select whatever channels we want in a grid and not just their selected choices, but this note doesn't give me confidence that they're going to pull it off anytime soon.
I have been using it the last couple weekends and it works pretty well. The unlimited DVR adds to the experience so you can easily rewind each screen, if you miss something. Pretty seamless. More window options and full channel selection and it would be perfect.
As much as I do appreciate it, for news specifically for this feature to be of interest, I've got to have the ability to choose between whatever local and other national, international news channels are available on the service. (i.e. not just Fox News, MSNBC, CNN and BBC.) But yeah, this sure is better than no multiview at all.
I'm still using IPTVX via Channels DVR for the most part, I've dialed it in with the favorite channels I enjoy choosing from most (across the board with antenna content, streaming and ADBtuner channels) and it allows for the most flexibility. Of all the choices providing on-the-fly multiviewing, it works the best for me. I just wish the overall UI of the app was more polished, specifically with regards to multiview, and that we could save and re-arrange the grid content in a more elegant and intuitive way.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both setups. I use something similar to your setup when I am home. Can you easily rewind on your setup if you miss something? That is an advantage I am getting with YTTV. It seems more seamless to me for that particular feature.
No, I can't, there's no DVR capability at all in IPTVX's MultiView. It's not a matter of ease or which is "more seamless." The only cloud DVR's I've been able to MultView wiith and rewind in, have been YouTube TV and Fubo, and Fubo is lacking KTLA, CNN, TNT, and a few other channel I consider essential. For now, YTTV is the better choice for me as a live TV provider because of it.
Absolutely, and none yet are perfect, none offer all the channels, all the functionality and flexibility that I'm wishing for. Ah well. I'm still optimisitic that one day we'll get there.
