Weird Situation Regarding Multitasking

Hey LTT,

I have the NBC sports network app off the windows store and I was wondering if it was possible to have two instances of it running in multitasking (side by side). This is for watching two NHL playoff games at once because obviously, I want to see both. Is there any way to do this in windows 8.1?

 

Thanks!

I highly doubt that it would work. I know with skype you can have multiple instances of it running but I'm pretty sure you can't with windows store apps, plus even if you could it would require a second monitor. and what, they don't have a website of which you can watch from to?
