Is the following System feasible to implement ?.

1. The End user to be able to view multiple channels in a Television Receiver Set. This can be done by splitting Vertically or Horizontally into two or four parts.
This is regarding the video part.

2. Since each channel has different audio, simultaneously viewing
four channels at a time by viewers which are different channels in a single television set will have a limitation of audio, since every channel program will be different audio.

For this we can have four different wireless headphones connected
to the end users. Every end user's headphone will have a buttons similar to remote control which will connect to the respectively television channel.

3. For vertically or Horizontally tiling windows there will be circuit changes in the Remote control circuitry and maybe also the Television Set.

The TV set is rectangular in shape (Aspect ratio of 4:3 i.e width: height ratio), Its not necessary the splitting similar done in computer window by tiling windows horizontally or vertically has 4 windows.
viz left top, right top, left bottom, right bottom.

We can also divide the rectangle area by two (2) either horizontal or vertical. i.e. at a single time two channels can be viewed and audio will be heard using the headphones respectively used by the two viewers
watching the two channels simultaneously.

Using Wireless Headphones as a accessory will be useful to the two or four viewers of the television system.

a 3d TV and some of those electronic 3d Glasses with separate audio outputs for each audio channel.

Currently the PS3 lets multiple users play the same game on the same TV @ full screen resolution no split screen.

This Model can be called as a Split TV Model - allowing the viewers to watch two or four channels at a single time.

The Headphones may or may not be physically wired. If it is wired, there will be four jacks on the Television Receiver for 4 channels split or two jacks on the Television Receiver for 2 channels split.

Those Headphones can be connected i.e. wired and may have length of 3 feet, 5 feet, 10 feet.

Also an advanced technology could have a wireless headphones.

The Remote control will have additional buttons for Split, Inputting Channel Numbers.
When the viewer clicks on split button, it allows the user to input channel numbers.

As some examples :

Channel 4 has a Football Match in Sports Channel.
Channel 5 has a Song being sung by an artist in Music Channel.

Now if there is only one User, ideally he would like to listen to the Music Channel 5
and watch the football match on channel 4. so the viewer will use the split button
to split the screen into two parts either vertically or horizontally, then input channel
numbers 4,5 and then mute the volume of channel 4 to watch the football match
and listen to the song sung by artist on channel 5 using the wireless/wired headphone.

Is it possible to build this system with Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Techniques, Cable Television Systems etc ?
