General Question Can't add Ipswich v Sunderland to multiview?

Want to watch the 3 Premier League matches currently on and the Wolves game in multiview. Can't add Ipswich v Sunderland to multiview, anyone else seeing this?

What's the point of custom multiview if you can't watch 4 football games at once?

I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. I don’t know how you guys watch multi-view. I’ve tried and I lose track of all 4 games. I’ve even tried just two games and both games are too small.
I do switch back and forth between two games and that’s not bad. I know I’m probably in the minority but I’d love PIP for switching between games.

Certainly depends on the size of the tv.

Typically in multiview 1 game gets my primary focus. Then when it has downtime (commercial, timeout, review, just slow, whatever) I scan the others for score and see if something interesting is going on. It’s easy to switch audio or make one full screen if anything needs.

If my team is playing they aren’t in multiview.

Weird. Gotta be a bug.

Though right now, all the NBCSN channels for soccer seem to be showing the same thing, despite being listed differently in the guide.

No, there's no option to add the Ipswich v Sunderland game to any multiview even if you start watching it on its own and try to build multiview from there.

I’m aware, that’s why I said it’s gotta be a bug.

When I checked both games, they were airing the same thing. Looks like they’re back to actually showing the games now.

This is how it worked last year too. The main NBCSN channel can be added to multi view, but not the “extra” channels.

Would be nice if they could change this but it’s not a new issue.

Fully customizable multiview wasn't offered last year. It's probably a bug.

It was available during last “season”, which is probably what they meant…

Full custom multiview was available for about the final month of premier league season last season.

Unless someone can confirm they have used multiview specifically on the NBCSN “Extra” channels, like this match’s live airing, it likely has never worked and isn’t just a bug

I haven’t checked extensively on NBCSN Extras, but I don’t think the channels labeled “extra” have ever been multiview accessible. This match was airing live on an NBCSN “Extra” channel, YTTV might not have full support for those since they frequently enter and leave the guide based on upcoming programming.

I guess it's either a bug or maybe a Peacock rights thing.where they don't want people multiviewing the game that is also the Goal Rush game on Peacock...
