4 Screen PIP?

[Marshall Henry]

Now that I have a super Joey I was wondering if this is possible. I have a 110" screen in my basement and often times watch two sporting events using the current side-by-side option. Now with 5 tuners available, I am wondering if the hopper could do this or if it is not powerful enough to display four at the same time. Would be great during the NCAA tournament or during college football & playoff baseball. I realize the aspect ratio would leave either the picture slightly distorted or with some blank space but even in my case it would be 4 screens about 50" each.

Maybe they will have a mosaic channel like they did for the Olympics and you will be able to watch 6 channels at a time.... You will not be able to do it PIP wise....

I love PIP for March Madness. Yesterday my wife and I had the two Conference Championship games on side-by-side. It's like sports heaven.

I know it's not possible now. I was just wondering if the hardware would support (or is powerful enough) a software update to be able to do this in the future.

The Joeys do not support PIP, so I do not believe this will be possible. Of course, I could be wrong, but I think that this is a limitation on the Hopper. I think the Hopper can only display 2 channels at a time because of hardware.

Thanks for the input. Someday!
