YouTube TV users, particularly avid sports fans, are noticing a subtle but impactful change in the platform’s navigation. Previously, double-pressing the “down” button on the remote would instantly jump to the “Networks” section, allowing for quick switching between channels in full-screen mode. However, with the introduction of multiview, this action now takes users directly to the multiview interface when watching games.
While multiview is a fantastic feature for watching multiple games simultaneously, some users prefer the old behavior, particularly when they only want to switch between multiple channels during live sports events, according to a post on Reddit. This change has sparked discussions in online forums and communities, with users seeking a way to revert to the previous navigation style.
If you are looking to switch back and forth between just two channels, you can still easily do that. By pressing and holding the “OK” button on their remote, they can instantly switch back to the last channel they were watching. This trick offers a quick and efficient way to toggle between two channels without navigating through the multiview screen.
Over the last year, YouTube TV has been making massive changes to its service to improve its sports streaming experience. One of the main changes is a bigger focus on multiview. With that, it seems YouTube TV is making these changes to help promote its multiview, letting you watch multiple games at once. This is just one of many changes to help improve that experience.
