Earlier this year, DirecTV showed up everyone else with its interactive,
multi-screen coverage of the Masters. Now, however, DISH Network is stepping up to the tee by planning to offer ESPN's coverage of the U.S. Open in a similar fashion. From June 12 through 13, DISH subscribers will be able to view a multiple-screen showcase (dubbed Interactive TV) that will create a mosaic with ESPN's primary feed, a feed focusing on Tiger and Phil, an "Up Close" channel and a number of other specific feeds that hardcore golf lovers will surely be fascinated with. Your turn, DirecTV.

Update: Ah, so DirecTV
is doing the same! Thanks m.e.

DirecTV is doing this too. They did it for the Masters and French Open.

I think I saw something like this on Directv for the French Open..... I'm not sure if it was as interactive as the description for Dish?
