Can you change the four channels shown on News Multiview 201?

[bookworm370]

Multiview always picks the four channels that, I'm sure, those who know better always show. A couple I like, a couple I really don't give a sh(a)t about.

Are we stuck with 2 or 3 channels that we have to tab through all the time to get to the one we want, or is there a hidden magic way to change them or even just go to 4 channels if they are pickable?

Thanks
If not, maybe this can be submitted to Dish Support to maybe be put on a list?

AFAIK it's not assembled on the fly, there's actually a channel transmitted that looks like that.

If you have an H3, you should be able to make up your own selection in sports bar mode (I would think; I don't have an H3.)

Whenever I had my hopper 2000 on service it did not allow me to, but as the previous commenter said, it may be possible on a hopper 3?

Yes, you can do that with an H3 in Picture in Picture mode.

The Hopper 3 does a FOUR channel pip.
That's four at 1080 each on a 4 K screen.

Actually you can watch a recording in all four if you really want to.

Great!!

How do I get to it? Is it on a specific channel? I can't seem to find it on the double press home screen.

Just bring up Multi Screen. Then highlight the position you want your DVR recording to play on. Next press DVR and select your show.and start it.

Yeah, knew that, but what I wanted is the 6 channels up at the same time so I can monitor and switch voice to the one I want.

See my next post

Just a guess, but with pip it should be able to quickly switch the audio to any

Hey!! I found it, but it was buried in Apps, so I cannot access it directly. But ho hum, that's for another time.

Now, how the heck can I change (again) which special channel the gods at Dish decided that I want to watch? It shows "Free Preview Showcase" which I take I can't change any channels! Only the ones they want me to buy!
There are also Sports Multiview and News Multiview, but again, you can't change those channels, even on Sports or News channels.

I have tried every button on the remote, including just typing in a channel, and nothing works to change the channel. What am I missing??

If I select a channel and press select, it goes full screen, and I cannot get back to the 6-screen view unless I work my way back to the APPS section. Then again, only those six channels are available.

See below. Do you have any ideas how to change the channels? I'll even put up with the 'Cannot get back to multiscreen issue,' but I would like to monitor the channels that "I" want to monitor.

Thanks in advance if I missed another selection or option.
