    I asked via phone app for access this afternoon, they said it would take about a day just like others have posted, I just noticed I was granted access on my TV app.

    It does if you use deductive reasoning when reading the words on the banner that says "Available for a limited time only during March Madness games."

    Interesting. It was not visible to me tonight with multiple (womens, NIT, Play-in) games going at once.

    It’s only on the men’s NCAA tournament networks and there is only one game on one channel, which isn’t a real tournament game.

    Best thing about Multiview is you just click over to highlight whatever game you want the sound to come on and there's no screen refresh or anything. Very seamless especially for the Beta version or "experimental version" as they call it.

    So, if you're currently paying full price for 4K add-on, you'll save $2 a month.

    Good changes all around, across the last few months:
    • Have gained a couple channels (CW, I think some Spanish networks which occasionally carry interesting soccer matches)
    • Gained Multi view, though we may not get it officially/completely till late summer.
    • My net price change is -$2.
    • Rumors of higher quality video (bitrate) being tested.
    • More 4k EPL games from NBC.
    edit: lost MLB Network.

    So is multiview only 2 games at once? I have a “cbs and tru Tv” option and “TVs and tnt” option.

    For this early version it's either 2 or 4. Since there's not 4 games on yet there's no option listed for that. At least that's how I take it after reading about it.

    Here's a good Q & A...

    Yeah just logged out and back in to see if it just didn’t refresh. But the only option is two at a time. Not terrible, but I definitely thought we’d be able to do 4 at once

    I tried it when I got home and every single time I tried, at least one of the two games was frozen.

    “WHY WON’T THEY CHANGE FROM THIS BLOWOUT FEATURING A LOCAL TEAM???!!!!!” Nothing more frustrating than waiting for cbs to cut in and switch to the good game

    The quad box was legit, very fluid and the sound changed super quick depending on which box you selected. Big fan.

    I only had a couple of issues and was able to correct them fairly easily. A couple of times the video on either one channel or all 4 got choppy/delayed. It fixed itself but then one of the times the audio was out of sync of the video.

    i just exited and restarted and it was all fixed

    Finally got into request the multiview last night. They said it could take awhile now due to all the demand. Hopefully get it by tomorrow, or even next weekend would be cool I guess.
