Aiming at sports fans who want to catch several games at once, Dish announced its Sports Bar Mode yesterday, right in time for the NCAA basketball tournament first-round games.  Also referred to as MultiView, Dish is offering the mode to Hopper 3 customers nationwide. It’s a multichannel view that divides a 4K or HDTV screen into quadrants, each with the ability to display a different program. The feature works by decoding any four different feeds and displaying them simultaneously.

Sports Bar Mode shipped in the latest software update pushed to Hopper 3 set-top boxes the previous night. Dish reports that in addition to the new mode, the software update included performance enhancements and general bug fixes.

“This technology replicates the fan experience of catching several games at once, now from the comfort of your home instead of heading to a local pub,” said Vivek Khemka, Dish EVP and CTO, says. “Sports Bar Mode is an especially useful tool throughout the month of March, as the tournament airs across four different channels. Not to mention, it’s great for households who don’t want to miss their favorite drama or sitcom, but also want to keep tabs on any live basketball games.”

Sports Bar Mode reportedly works with all live, linear channels in Dish’s programming lineup, as well as on demand content, and recorded TV shows and movies. Once the TV screen is divided into quadrants, customers can toggle among the four channels to determine which one will have its audio played. Sports Bar Mode is compatible with both 4K and HD televisions when connected to a Hopper 3. On 4K TVs, the four quadrants display in 1080. On HDTVs, the four quadrants display in 540.

Hopper 3 includes additional multichannel configurations, including a split-screen feature that places two channels side-by-side, as well as a setting that overlays a second channel in the upper right hand corner of the TV screen.

Dish’s Hopper 3 was first announced at the 2016 CES, then made available to consumers on Jan. 31.
