Multiple TV's set up right next to each other for Sports Viewing

[Pacolovestacos]

Anyone have a multiple TV setup in order to watch multiple games at the same time?

 

[Gumbo4x4]

No, but when I was a kid, my dad used to stack the 13" B&W on top of the 19" color and he'd have an earpiece hooked to the radio and the sports page in his lap. We had an electric rotor on our overhead antenna so when the Cardinals (football) didn't sell out in St Louis, we could still watch the game by spinning the antenna and watching channel 13 out of Jefferson City LOL

No, but during "hockey hibernation weekend" my friends have their TV and a few laptops streaming games.

Does picture-in-picture still exist? Where you can watch another channel in a small corner of the main screen?

I never had multiple TVs side by side, but I remember my aunt had such a setup circa 1970. One TV just received the sound, the other just the picture. When my aunt left the room moemtarily, my cousin changed the channel on one TV so that the picture wouldn't match the sound.

You could always go to a sports bar.

Sort of, but now if you have Dish Network you can watch 4 things at once.

LOL My dad did the same thing. 2 TVs and the radio.

Would it kill you to put on a pair of sweatpants?

Adding my dad to the list of dads who do this. He still does it, just with more refined devices.

 

[Neesy228]

Not tv's, but different devices. The game I'm most interested in is on the tv. Then I have one or two others streaming on my phone and/or ipad. Just for college football season though.

My dad use to With the NCAA basketball games. He had 3 Tv’s and a radio set up in the garage, plus he had a big chart to keep track of the games. He would also have a puzzle going. I miss the dad that use to do that. Now he doesn’t even follow any games since he got dementia.

We have that with Uverse. I find it distracting.
Of course, I watch Red Zone. Not quite as bad, but still....

Yeah. i work in TV and we have TV's all over the building setup this way, so I am used to watching splits screens. We have one 60 inch TV that displays 10 things at once.

My 4K monitor does a great job at this.
