Sony has announced a couple of new features for the PlayStation Vue – its streaming service – with the chief among them being the ability of watch up to three channels simultaneously through multi-streaming.
The new feature gives you the option to watch and listen to a main TV channel and view up to two additional channels at the same time. Keep an eye on all the action and enjoy mixing and matching your favourite channels. As Sony explained in a blog post about the PlayStation Vue’s multi-streaming feature:
“To use this feature, just press and hold X on any live TV program from the Guide or Live TV row of the home screen to open up the selection screen for multi-view. A menu will pop up to give you an option of using either two or three multi-view screens. You can select any other live programing from the Live TV strand and start viewing multiple programs at once. The main screen in multi-view will contain audio of the programming.”
The multi-view feature is available with the PlayStation Vue app today, though Sony did not say if it will come to other supported devices. Sony have also confirmed that they’re working on a number of new features scheduled to be released for the streaming service in the next few months. As Sony has put it:
“Our team is currently hard at work to bring even more new features to PS Vue. Coming soon, real-time sports scores will be added to help you know the games to watch. You can also turn off spoiler alerts if you are waiting to watch the big game. Stay tuned for more information on the additional sports features we’re adding to PS Vue.”
So far, there isn’t any release date for these features, but multi-streaming is available from today.
