How do I watch several channels at once?
With Tuner Plus, open Multiview from the player or channel list and add channels – up to nine on iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Sound comes from the selected channel; a double tap shows a channel full screen. How many play live at once depends on the device and your provider.

Why do some tiles show only a still?
To save battery and memory, not every tile plays live on every device. Tap a tile to bring it live.
Does each channel count as a connection?
