When you think streaming video, you think YouTube. And so YouTube TV — Google’s live TV streaming service — very much just makes sense. Designed for those who want to cut the cord and ditch their cable or satellite subscriptions , YouTube TV competes in the same arena as other streaming television services like DirecTV Stream , Sling TV, FuboTV, and Hulu With Live TV.
And there’s now a separate Spanish-only plan that’s available for $25 a month for the first six months, and $35 a month after that.
As more and more smart televisions employ their own operating systems and apps, YouTube TV has kept up with its availability. Native apps are available TVs from Samsung, LG, Vizio, Hisense, Sharp, and Sony. Google, on the other hand, gives unlimited recordings, all for free. So long as you keep your subscription, you keep your recordings for up to 9 months. That goes for shows, movies, and live sports and other events. And YouTube TV is smart about it. Most recordings extend 1 minute past their scheduled end time. Sporting events, by default, record an extra 30 minutes — and YouTube TV can even detect if things are going to run longer and extend things from there.
YouTube TV also allows for up to six user profiles on a single account. That’s important because it affects show and movie recommendations. So you don’t have to see your kids’ recs, and they don’t have to see yours. YouTube TV is tied to your Google account, and the profiles will be available for up to five other family members as designated in your Google account.
Jump This feature lets you jump to various segments within select news programs on YouTube TV. Similar to key plays view for sports, on some programs, you’ll be able to jump to specific news clips within the complete recording. This feature is available on TV apps now and will come to mobile devices soon.
Your access to YouTube TV won’t be immediately shut off, though. You’ll still get access to YouTube TV on the web and all devices until the end of your billing period. Once you hit that point and the payment doesn’t renew, you’ll lose access to all live TV streaming.How to pause YouTube TV Interestingly, YouTube TV also offers a “pause” option if you just want to take a break from the service — such as if it loses a bunch of channels you really want, but you expect them to come back eventually.
