DIRECTV Curated Multiview: Follow More Live Sports on One Screen

When the sports schedule gets crowded, choosing one game can mean missing the action somewhere else. A rivalry matchup here, a conference showdown there, another big game about to kick off – and only one screen. DIRECTV’s curated sports Multiview experience brings together live games in views built around the day’s matchups, themes and biggest moments, already lined up and ready to watch.

Not a DIRECTV customer? Let’s change that!

What Is Curated Multiview?

Curated Multiview brings together live sports matchups in a single view, scheduled around what’s on that day. Each Multiview features live games from networks already included in your package, laid out together and ready to watch. There’s no separate channel to dig for: when a Multiview is available for the game you’re watching, you’ll see a “Multiview” button in the video player. Simply select and start watching! And when those matchups end, that Multiview goes with them.

You’ll only see Multiviews built from networks included in your package and games available in your area — so the Multiviews that appear are ones you’re eligible to watch.

Curated Around the Biggest Games

DIRECTV’s sports team curates each of these Multiview around two ideas: marquee matchups fans may want to follow together and themed slates built around the day’s action. That could mean an SEC Saturday lineup one weekend or a collection of NFL games airing across CBS and FOX on Sunday. Multiviews are planned around the sports calendar, with more available on stacked sports weekends and fewer on quieter days. Themed live sprots Multiviews can also return throughout the season with new matchups.

How Is Curated Multiview Different From a Mix Channel?

DIRECTV’s existing Mix Channels aren’t going anywhere. Those always-on channels bring together a set lineup of live networks in one place, making it easy to keep an eye on sports, news, weather and more.

Curated Multiviews work differently. Instead of occupying a permanent spot in the channel guide, they’re built around specific live sporting events. A Multiview appears when the action starts and wraps up when the games do, with program titles and artwork that make it easy to see exactly what’s playing.

Think of Mix Channels as an always-available destination and curated Multiviews as an optional view built around what’s happening right now.

Easy to Find. Even Easier to Watch.

Curated Multiviews are rolling out now and will be available to eligible customers by August 27. As the experience becomes available, you’ll find Multiviews right where you’re already looking for live sports:

  • On the Sports Central carousels
  • As a prompt inside the video player while you’re watching an eligible live game

See one you want? One tap takes you straight into the Multiview – no setup or confirmation screen required. And when a Multiview is five minutes from ending, DIRECTV gives you a heads-up and an easy, one-tap way to jump back to the full-screen game.

More Ways to Follow the Action

With curated Multiviews, DIRECTV is making it easier to keep up when the sports calendar gets busy. Just find an available Multiview, jump in and follow more of the action from one screen.
