4 Ways to Catch Everything March Madness® Live on TV
Multi-View: With the March NCAA tournament airing across four channels, DISH’s Multi-View is a useful tool for watching multiple games airing simultaneously. Available on Hopper 3, Multi-View is a mode that divides a 4K or HDTV screen into quadrants, each with the ability to display a different program. You can easily toggle among the four channels to determine which will play audio. Use Multi-View to watch up to four games at once, particularly during the first and second rounds, so you never miss a big moment of the tournament.
To launch Multi-View, click the “Options” button on your remote, select “Picture in Picture” and then “Multi-View.”
College Sports Multi-Channel View: While Multi-View is only available on Hopper 3, you can still watch multiple games at once with DISH’s College Sports Multi-Channel View. Available on channel 151 in the programming guide on all Hoppers, Wallys and Joey clients, this view showcases up to four pre-selected channels on one TV screen during the tournament. If you have a VIP receiver, you’ll find a similar mosaic of six networks on channel 100.
Bracket View: Follow the NCAA tournament with DISH’s Bracket View, an app that populates an interactive bracket with upcoming, live and completed games. You can navigate games in all four regions – Midwest, East, West, and South – so it’s easy to find and tune to live games or set scheduled games to record. Bracket View also displays real-time scores and game stats, including points per game leader, field goal percentage and 3-point field percentage. The best part is that you can check out this app without exiting a game you’re watching – it will continue to play in the top right corner of your TV screen. Find Bracket View in the Apps menu or on channel 148.
Game Finder: DISH’s Game Finder app gives you access to all your favorite teams. It helps you find current and upcoming games and lets you easily schedule recordings and reminders. Game Finder also incorporates data from Thuuz to rate the most exciting games, so you’ll always know which tournament games are heating up. Check out Game Finder in the Apps menu or on channel 152 in the programming guide.
