DirecTV keeps multi-screen trend alive with Wimbledon Interactive coverage

If you enjoy juggling six screens at once, you should seriously considering switching to DirecTV or DISH Network. As the back-and-forth action between the two continues, DirecTV is serving up Wimbledon Interactive in order to provide viewers with a multi-screen montage of grass court action. The satcaster is teaming up once again with ESPN2 in order to "provide nearly 200 hours of live interactive coverage of the first five days of the 2008 Wimbledon Championship." The half dozen screens will include live ESPN2 coverage, a Wimbledon Extra for keying in on crucial matches / highlights, and shots from four other courts which can be expanded to full screen at the touch of a button. As you know, the first fuzzy ball flies on June 23rd.

Is this for DirecTV on Demand requiring a broadband internet connection or this a specific channel?

it's not on demand. basically you will go to channel 701, and it will have a main channel with all the feeds, and 5 others that follow that with individual match coverage. they have done this for the french of this year, and in the earlier rounds, it's a good feature......
