This TiviMax app looks promising for multi-view and very customizable.
Love the iPhone portrait and landscape EPG multi-view layout.
Very nice! Just sampled it for a bit, this may be my new favorite. It's very easy to customize a multiview grid, on-the-fly. Working well on AppleTV. I sprung for Premium! Thanks for mentioning it.
this look great! I'm trying the lite version and used the typical settings that work in the other apps ie (http://...:8089/devices/ANY/channels.m3u?codec=copy&format=ts and http://...:8089/devices/ANY/guide/xmltv?duration=604800)
but I don't see a guide, nothing under TV or movies under 'Shows' it displays my favorite channels bit non of them play.
Thanks for any tips!
These worked for me:
http://DVR-IP:8089/devices/ANY/channels.m3u
http://DVR-IP:8089/devices/ANY/guide/xmltv
(Obviously replace “DVR-IP” with your DVR’s IP address.)
There are some interface issues that I’ll be reporting to the developer, but of the 4-5 multiview apps I’ve experimented with so far on AppleTV, this TiviMax app is by far the most usable.

after playing more I found Tivimax needs format=HLS vs TS
Sure, but there isn’t any tvOS client for TiviMate. AppleTV users in this thread should check out Tivimax instead.
Which device are you using to push 9 streams? I think I got up to 8 with my NVidia Shield (2015 or 2017, can't remember at the moment).

I like the app. One glitch I had was that I had one channel in the Apple TV app where the image was very, very pixelated, when the same channel in the Channels app was just fine.
I'm using http://DVR-IP:8089/devices/ANY/channels.m3u
and
http://DVR-IP:8089/devices/ANY/guide/xmltv?duration=604800 for the EPG (replacing "DVR-IP" with my Channels' DVR IP address).
I played around with the various settings in TiviMax, with no luck. I see that @Iommi mentioned using HLS in the post above, so maybe I'll try that.
It's a shame the free app is so overloaded with ads. If sok and Fofer hadn't given it a thumbs up, I would have given up after trying the free app, as ads pop up all over the place, interrupting any attempts to use it. But I agree that the paid version is quite nice.
Using a Shield Tube 2019. I can push more, but they start to stutter. I want 9 to fill the screen!
ESPN+ has tons of hockey games I want to put up on the big screen.
Working great for me on tvOS using Fofer's suggested urls...
Has anyone had any success with the macos version of the app? I can't get any channels to load.
This was last year's Coachella:
2024's Coachella is a little bit easier. Currently enjoying YouTube's multiview:
Streaming now and through the weekend:

I just tried, also was unsuccessful.

I just noticed that there was a Tivimax update a few weeks ago. The current version is buggy with resizing the app window, but is now working on MacOS.
Viewing on Channels at home means no transcoding. I believe when your viewing on TVIMate, you are viewing transcoded signals. Did you try increasing the playback quality under advance tab to see if that closed the gap between Channels and TVIMate picture quality?
EDIT Maybe it doesn't transcore? I tested using xTeve to push into Plex and not seeing a chance in PQ when adjusting the transcoding settings on the CDVR server.

I'm not even sure at this point. TiviMate had some appealing features, but ultimately the UI was too janky for my liking, and I haven't picked it up in a couple months. If I get brave, I'll dig back in and check out the playback quality in the advanced tab.

I recently discovered another entrant in the multiview-capable app space, at least on AppleTV:
I've been playing around with it for a bit on tvOS and iPad and it's pretty nice. It accepted the M3U and EPG I copied out from Channels. Overall it feels a bit better than Tivimate. The app's UI needs some work but it's off to a solid start and the updates have been frequent. Hopefully it keeps getting better.

What are you using for M3U/EPG? The same URLs from iprotv get me UHF's (somewhat childish) "no playlist, seriously?" prompt. 
Here's the format I used that works with the UHF app. I copied the URLs from Channels DVR and edited the first section to be the internal IP address of my CDVR server, made it http:// instead of https://, and removed the "?format=ts&codec=copy" bit at the end:
M3U:
http://CHANNELS-DVR-IP-ADDRESS:8089/devices/M3U-SOURCE-NAME/channels.m3u
EPG:
http://CHANNELS-DVR-IP-ADDRESS:8089/devices/M3U-SOURCE-NAME/guide/xmltv?duration=1209600
The "duration" part in the EPG URL isn't necessary, it works without it too:
http://CHANNELS-DVR-IP-ADDRESS:8089/devices/M3U-SOURCE-NAME/guide/xmltv
1209600 seconds works out to be two weeks of guide data. So if you're just using UHF for live multiview, and only need 6 or so hours of guide data, it may make sense to use something like 21600 instead.

OK - it didn't like any switches at end of M3U - that explains it. Thanks.
My kingdom for a client that:
Exposes channel ID's
Allows interactive building on tvOS
Uses native sound (including AC4 thanks to stupid ATSC3)
I'll play with this one, but my suspicion is that I'll be back on iProTV soon enough.
