	How do I open several multiplex channels?

Solution Digital TV channels are often subdivided into multiple subchannels.

Looking for subchannels, or identical frequencies, would be the way to determine if channels are on the same multiplex. Look in the frequency column of the Channels section of the Programs window, to see the frequency. In the US, digital antenna (ATSC) subchannels are often designated by a hyphen (like 11-1 for regular programming, and 11-2 for weather).

To open an additional live TV window, hold down the Control key while selecting Open Live TV Window from the File menu. After you press the Control key, you’ll see a new option in the File menu, Open Live TV on Multiplex. A new video window will open from that multiplex.

You can open as many additional windows as you like, but 2 or 3 are a practical upper limit on most machines.

All live TV windows can be paused, timeshifted, manually recorded, etc. independent of each other. Scheduled recordings will not be able to open more than one multiplex channel at once - you have to do so manually, and then click on each window before selecting Record.

For products with only one tuner, changing any window to a channel on a different multiplex will change all other open windows to channels on the new multiplex.
