Can I watch more than one channel at once?

Yes, up to four at once with Multi screen, and films can join in. Each screen uses one of your connections.

On a TV

On a channel, press the menu button or hold OK, then choose Multi screen. On a film, choose Multi screen next to Play. Press OK on a screen to add another channel or a film.

On a phone or tablet

Press and hold a channel and choose Multi screen, or tap Multi screen next to Play on a film. Tap a screen to add another channel or a film.

Each screen is a separate stream, so two screens use two of your connections and four use four. On a one-connection plan, add a connection before you try it.
