TL;DR
- For the past couple of weeks, YouTube TV users have been complaining about bad picture quality when using multiview.
- Numerous reports indicate that watching a single channel appears fine, but the quality severely degrades when watching two, three, or four channels at once.
- This is reportedly happening even with fast, wired internet connections and with other streaming apps running fine, suggesting it may be an issue with YouTube TV itself.
YouTube TV’s multiview feature is one of my favorite things about the streaming service, especially right now during football season when I can have four games playing simultaneously on any given Sunday. Unfortunately, multiview hasn’t been working very well for a lot of YouTube TV subscribers.
For the last couple of weeks, the r/YouTubeTV subreddit has been flooded with user complaints about multiview being hampered by extremely low picture quality, including comments about multiview streams appearing blocky and “sometimes unviewable.”
