OT: YouTube TV

[toby83]

There is an unlimited recording comes with youtube tv with no extra charge. You can select any team for future recording by clicking on the + icon and on "add to library" until you remove it from library. You can program a single event for the library or all episodes, future games or even any sport event associated with your chosen school. I switched from Verizon TV to youtube tv and saved $480/year and have at least three times more watchable channels. The channel guide looks boring, but a new colorful channel guide is going to be released in few days. You need to get used to the interface, but it is much smarter than what others offer. I have it only three weeks, but I am satisfied after the bad FIO experience. I am still using for FIO for Internet but since I dropped their tv package, their Internet service slowed down significantly, Optimum offers 500 MB fiber Internet Service for $40/month that is by the best price and the service is actually better than the FIO service. I will go back to optimum after two years with FIO.

Good review
Do any of these channels come with basic package?
YES
MSG
Big Ten
CBS Sports
NFL (the standard channel, not package)
MLB (the standard channel not package)

When I originally looked into it, I thought adding all of these brought cost up to pretty much same as direct TV.

What’s so hard about Hulu?

Browsing for live tv sucks. If you ask yourself, what’s on now, you can’t easily figure that out. The channel organization is much better on youtubeTV. If you don’t care about live tv Hulu might be fine.

I’m with you. Every time I click onto Live TV , which involves 3 clicks, it takes me to Recent channels, which is annoying.

Also the picture quality is not great, compared to YouTube TV. Do you find the same? I think that I’m switching back to YouTube now that the Mets season is over.

I find the guide pretty easy to navigate and use, but curious how it’s different than YTTV

That’s exactly what I’m doing. Gonna try FUBO first though. Figure it out again come April 1.

In YouTube tv you can organize your live channels as you want. And the live tv schedule is then very easy to follow, just like cable. I dont find it intuitive getting to a tv schedule that’s comprehensive on HULU.

Can I get Met games or Ranger games in Northern NJ? Don’t think they have SNY or MSG. Are there sport packages? If so are local games blacked out?

YouTube Tv includes Big Ten, ACC, SEC, CBS Sports, Golf and NFL channels. It does not include YES, MSG and MLB channels.

for those with YouTube TV, how would i watch MSG and YES? only through their respective streaming apps? (separate from youtube TV)

Last year was the first year that YES allowed monthly subscribers without local cable contracts. I paid for YES monthly until August, when it was clear the Yankees were done. It was difficult to channel surf between innings because it’s a separate app. I’d rather have it on my YTTV live TV guide, but it’s better than nothing.

When I did the math last year it was going to cost me about $120 for the regular season.

Nice. Finally a solution to the lack of in-market streaming.

Kinda sucks that it costs more than mlb.tv even at the $200 promo price (per year), but I guess it's a deal if you want to watch Nets too.

DirectTv Stream is the only streaming service I know that has all the sports channels (including MSG, YES, SNY, all ESPP, NFL Network, BTN, CBS Sports, SEC, ACC, Fox Sports channels, Golf, Tennis, etc.). It's more expensive than YTTV and Hulu, but I think is more like a true cable replacement. You can pay more for unlimited DVR and 3 streams if needed.
