Multi-view shows several live channels on one screen at the same time — handy for following multiple games. Apps such as TiviMate (Premium) and some versions of IPTV Smarters support it. Each channel on screen is a separate stream, so multi-view uses one connection per channel from your plan and needs bandwidth for every stream.
How multi-view uses your plan
| Channels on screen | Connections used | Plan needed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1-device plan |
| 2 | 2 | 2-device plan |
| 4 | 4 | A plan with 4 connections |
If you exceed your limit, extra tiles won't play or you'll see a max connections error — see using IPTV on multiple devices.
Apps with multi-view
- TiviMate — multi-view is a Premium feature; long-press or use the menu on a channel to add it to a multi-view layout.
- IPTV Smarters — some versions have a multi-screen option in Live TV.

Bandwidth and device
- Bandwidth: about 10 Mbps per HD tile. Four HD tiles need around 40 Mbps.
- Device: decoding several streams is demanding. A recent Android TV box or 4K Max-class stick copes best; older sticks may stutter.
- Quality: choose HD versions of channels rather than 4K.
Tips for multi-view sport
- Use Ethernet for stability.
- Pick one tile for audio — most apps play sound from the selected tile.
- Keep the main game full-screen and switch to multi-view only during overlapping kick-offs.
- Check frame-rate settings — see smoother live sport.
Alternatives
If your plan has only one connection, use picture-in-picture on a phone or tablet for a second game, or switch channels quickly with favourites.
