Consuming television has evolved a lot; so much so that it is currently possible to find different methods to do it in the most comfortable and interesting way for your interests. That is what platforms and operators like Movistar Plus+ allow us to do based on solutions to watch our favorite content. But do you know how to do it and watch two TV channels at the same time?
Watch TV the way we want, also with Movistar Plus+
Today television is a consumer item that is inevitably linked to other screens . In addition to the television, it is common to have your eyes on a tablet, computer or smartphone to comment on what you are seeing on WhatsApp, Twitter or Facebook. Share what you are watching, recommend that movie, series or program or, directly, watch two things at the same time.
It’s more; We have long ceased to be passive subjects who only receive information, without the possibility of choosing or interacting with the content. Now, and thanks to advances in technology, streaming platforms and everything that goes with it, what we do is consume our own television: what we want, how and when we want .
Precisely, with Movistar Plus+ we have a method that facilitates this way of watching television: two channels simultaneously from your own television. Covering that need from new functionalities, this is a very accessible and complete way that we have from the operator, without doing any kind of trickery or external operation or anything like that. Best of all, it’s at our fingertips thanks to the ‘Picture in Picture’ function, which is what it’s called when one image is displayed on top of another. It is also known as PIP.
It is possible with the PIP function
All in all, the possibility of having windows superimposed on other elements is relatively recent and began to be exhibited a few years ago, although it has not been until now when it is gaining greater prominence, in part, due to the numerous contents that we have access to from Movistar Plus + .
That means that, thanks to their larger screens, they allow us to do two things at the same time . In your case, this PIP of the blue operator is something common to find in some operating systems for televisions, to show a chain about something that we are looking for . Thus, this allows you to watch two TV channels at the same time at the user’s choice, taking advantage of one of the channels and keeping the other in full screen.
These will be one full screen and another in the upper right corner, small, in a kind of floating window. The audio that will sound is the main channel. The other will remain mute. In addition, you will be able to reverse the position of both events or return to one. Fast and easy. To access it you just have to have a UHD decoder and fiber optic connectivity.
How can we access it?
As Movistar Plus+ indicated then with this PIP, this function is compatible with most channels, although not all. As of today, only Cinema, Multisport, Netflix, Mosaico F1 and F1 multi-camera channels (with DAZN) are excluded.
At the same time, the PiP option can be accessed from the miniguide . To do this, simply press the ‘OK’ button so that the mini-guide appears when you are viewing any dial, and scroll with the navigation keys until you are on the PIP icon. When you press ‘OK’, the tuned channel is fixed in the upper right corner.
Thus, the channel that appears in the window is shown in standard quality. This starts being seen temporarily with the name of the channel and the name of the program in the window, but it disappears after a few seconds showing the channel on a windowed screen without additional information. This option is really useful to see which two channels we want to watch simultaneously in order to be able to follow two games at the same time or to know, for example, when a program starts on another channel.
