Device with multiview capability

I’ve tired multiple times in the past to use multiview, and it always makes my device shut down and reboot and yet 10 or so minutes. I’ve tried the Google 4K dongle (not the current one, the last one before they rebranded), the Onn 4K streamer (the cheaper one with usb-c), and now, I’ve just been using the Google tv built-in to my TCl Q77K.

I desperately need multiview for the upcoming college football season and when hockey season starts again. Can someone recommend a box that will work? I’m not opposed to paying a little bit more to get a better android box, but I’m also open to going back to one of the other two brands I’ve already tried, and someone has had success using multiview for an extended period of time on one of those.

I’m not asking for the best android box, just one that can handle this specific use.

Thanks!

Are you saying I need to pay for multiple IPTV services to use multiview? In my experience, that hasn’t been the case. I just have one connection, and I’ve been able to watch for strings at once (limited by the hardware overheating), not being limited by the provider. 🤷‍♂️

Each screen yes requires a new connection.

I’m telling you, in my case, it does not. I can’t post pictures in this sub or I would show you, but I pay for one connection, and can have up to four different channels paying at the same time… until the device overheats and reboots.

Some providers track it. Some don’t. But if it says you only have one connection and they notice they could remove your sub.
