With a YouTube TV subscription, you can watch live TV, sports, news, record your favorite TV series for later viewing, or explore a vast library of previous episodes.
YouTube TV’s $64.99 monthly price is equivalent to what you’d pay for traditional cable providers, but it’s not intended to be a less expensive option to cable.
However, YouTube TV is a great service because of the variety of ways you may interact with the content and the variety of programming it offers.
What is YouTube TV?
A live TV streaming service is YouTube TV.
Access to live TV from more than 85 broadcast, cable, and local sports networks is offered.
In addition, it provides limitless DVR space, up to six accounts for a single fee, and the capability to stream to all of your devices (like your phone, tablet, computer, or TV)
YouTube Originals and popular YouTube videos are also available on YouTube TV.
With Live TV, it directly competes with Sling TV and Hulu.
How much does YouTube TV cost?
You must be a premium user to access YouTube TV.
The Base Plan has a monthly price of $64.99 (plus tax).
You receive programming from major broadcast networks, well-liked cable networks, premium networks, as well as well-liked YouTube creator-produced shows, in exchange.
You can, for instance, access the regional sports networks of CBS and FOX in your area.
Up to six separate profiles may be used with the base subscription, which also offers unlimited free cloud DVR storage.
There are “no hidden fees, equipment rentals, or installation appointments needed,” according to Alphabet.
There is also no obligation; you are free to end it at any moment.
For an extra monthly fee, you may additionally add premium networks and sports.
For a fee, you may tack on other features like the “4K Plus” add-on and gain access to Fox Soccer Plus, Showtime, and Starz, for example.
According to Alphabet, 4K Plus offers improved video quality on the available content, the opportunity to watch recordings offline, and limitless home streaming.
Do you subscribe to YouTube Premium?
YouTube TV is a separate service from YouTube Premium, which allows ad-free access to YouTube videos, and it gives users access to live TV programming from networks like CBS, FOX, NBC, HGTV, and TNT.
You can view YouTube videos on YouTube TV without advertising if you have both a YouTube Premium and YouTube TV subscription.
However, commercials will still appear on both live and recorded TV.
