Masters week! Sky Sports carry the amazing multi channel coverage - there's one channel for Amen Corner, another channel that follows specific groups and another channel that covers the general play.

A mate is hosting a home watching event... Is there a clever way to setup multiple TVs? I guess you could run one off the decoder box and one off a laptop running SkyGo? What about a third?

Another one off Sky Sport Now? Would require someone purchasing a week pass for it but should work fine. Streams off SmartTV/AppleTV/GoogleTV just fine.

skysportsnow allows multiview too, can have up to 4 streams on the one screen.

Yes and that would be perfect if you could split them somehow to multiple monitors off a laptop ...

Don't see why you couldn't run multi screens off one laptop (especially easy if you have a dock with mulitple monitor outputs).

You may well run into Sync issues, but I don't know how important that will be to you.

The live broadcast off the decoder will be ahead by a couple to a few seconds based on my experience of watching rugby on SSN.

In that case I would hide the decoder output but listen to it and predict which sides putts miss on!

I don't know if it will be enabled but I've asked @lewk and the team at DNS4Me if they could support the Masters Streaming option. The Masters provide their own free livestreams that are only available in the US via their website or a Masters App on Apple TV. Outside the US you can watch highlights from prior years but I believe the livestreams are geo-locked.

@Senecio That sounds good if happens - would you mind posting here if it does?

Lew has confirmed that it won't be added as a service, but it could be achieved via a custom domains. I'll move the conversation from here to the unblocking forum.

With sky go you can usually have 2 devices streaming different channels, plus decoder will have you covered for 3 channels. Will be a delay on the Sky go streams though…

In the end I watched it using the masters.com website over a VPN - was quite good being able to watch the broadcast or just a selection of players.

Downside was the injection of ads for the likes of Bank of America, AT&T, IBM and so on.

I used Sky Sports Now for the main feed on the TV and supplemented it with the Masters App on the iPad (DNS4Me) to follow certain players/groups or just to catch up with certain events. Watching every shot of Haotong Li's implosion on 13 for example!

What a time of it he had on the 12th and 13th! Have to say he took it well.
