With MTS Ultimate TV you can watch up to 7 things at the same time:
- Live: Watch or record up to 3 live shows at the same time in HD (high definition) or SD (standard definition)
- Recorded: Watch up to 4 recorded shows in HD or SD
If you try to watch more than the above, you will get a CONFLICT MESSAGE. Follow the on screen instructions to resolve the conflict and continue watching TV.
Tips
- If two or more TVs watch the same live channel it only counts as one live show.
- Video on Demand counts as a live show, not a previously recorded show.
Stream Conflicts
If you try to use more streams than you have available, a conflict occurs, and you are prompted to resolve it.
- A CONFLICT RESOLUTION message will appear on your screen. This is the system warning you that it cannot deliver more than three unique live streams at one time.
- You will be given options depending on how you are using your service.
- If more than three televisions are trying to access different channels, you will be given these two options. Highlight the option you want, and press OK.
- INTERRUPT A TV – This will turn off the stream that has been running the longest. This option will not interrupt a PVR recording or a VOD movie which is playing.
- STAY ON CHANNEL – This option will keep the TV on the channel you are currently watching.
- If the PVR is recording one or more live streams and one or more TVs are watching live TV, then you will be given three options. Highlight the option you want, and press OK.
- INTERRUPT A TV – This will turn off the stream on the TV that has been running the longest. It will not interrupt a PVR recording or a VOD movie which is playing.
- RECORDED TV – This option will take you to the current recordings screen of the PVR, allowing you to stop a recording to free up a stream for watching live TV, or you can choose to watch a previously recorded program instead.
- STAY ON CHANNEL – This option will keep the TV on the channel you are currently watching.
