Most modern smart TVs and gaming consoles connect to the internet and offer the YouTube app. But if your TV doesn&#8217;t have this built-in capability, you&#8217;ll need to use an external device. To get started, download the YouTube app from the Google Play store. Then follow the directions on your screen to download the app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_TV_is_not_a_part_of_YouTube\"><\/span>YouTube TV is not a part of YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube TV is a subscription service for live television from broadcast networks and popular shows created by YouTube creators. However, there is a separate paid subscription service, YouTube Premium, which offers a streamlined and uninterrupted experience across YouTube. YouTube Premium also allows YouTube TV members to watch their favorite videos on live television without ads. However, live television will continue to feature ads. If you&#8217;re wondering if YouTube TV is right for you, read on to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>The application requires a good Internet connection. Since YouTube TV is more complex than normal YouTube, it requires more bandwidth. You may experience downtimes, so you&#8217;d be best off using the latest version of the application. However, keep in mind that this feature may undergo maintenance at times. If you are experiencing issues with your streaming device, consider leaving the platform for 10 to 25 minutes and returning later. The problem is unlikely to persist for more than a few hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_has_eight_ViacomCBS_channels\"><\/span>It has eight ViacomCBS channels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube TV is getting eight ViacomCBS channels this summer, with the rest to come later. ViacomCBS channels are comedy central, Nickeleon, BET, Paramount Network, TV Land, and VH1. But as of now, there&#8217;s no timeline for when all of them will be available. In fact, ViacomCBS has not yet announced what the prices will be.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of YouTube TV will increase to $40 in early 2018. It also has the Turner networks, Cinemax, and HBO Max. It also has deals with BET Her, MTV2, Nick Jr., NickToons, TeenNick, and VH1. It will also offer ViacomCBS Classic and MTV2 in the future. While it&#8217;s still unclear what the new price will be, it&#8217;s unlikely to be more than $50.<\/p>\n<p>The streaming service&#8217;s channels list is also extensive. You can find over 85 live TV channels and the YouTube Originals channel. Channels vary by region. New Yorkers get a directory of 59 networks, while Los Angeles users get eight. But the channel lineup is still not complete, since YouTube TV almost lost all of its NBCUniversal channels by September 2021. In the meantime, Disney-owned networks departed and returned to YouTube TV on December 18, and the NBCUniversal channels haven&#8217;t yet appeared on the service.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_has_a_cloud_DVR\"><\/span>It has a cloud DVR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With a Cloud DVR, you can record your shows without the hassle of managing your own hard drive or central storage. Unlike cable, YouTube TV lets you record for up to nine months and save them on your computer without the hassle of managing physical hard drives. All YouTube TV content is available on your Cloud DVR, and you can add any show to your library. Your favorite shows will be recorded for an additional half-hour if you are watching a sports game. And with YouTube TV 4K Plus, you can download content to watch offline.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to offering 78 top channels, YouTube TV offers a cloud DVR with unlimited storage. It is a popular option among cable users. It also offers live sports, local channels, and top news networks. For $20 a month, you can get 4K streaming, which means you can record as much as you want. Plus, you can add up to six accounts, which is great for families. The only disadvantage is that there aren&#8217;t any regional sports networks, but other providers have been dropping them for a while.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_has_a_live_TV_guide\"><\/span>It has a live TV guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube TV has added a new live TV guide that lets you see what shows are playing on which channel. The new interface shows highlighted shows, title, description and rating. You can also choose to watch shows in a dark mode to reduce eye strain. However, this new feature is currently available to a small number of users. It is unclear when all subscribers will see this new feature. Until then, YouTube TV is the best streaming service for watching TV on the go.<\/p>\n<p>The service has a wide range of channels and content. You can move the content seamlessly between your devices. Moreover, you can take recorded content with you wherever you go. In addition to the live TV guide, YouTube TV also offers a Help Center for any questions. You can now enjoy cable-free live TV without the hassle of a subscription. Moreover, it supports multiple devices, including mobile devices. In addition to smart TVs, you can also stream movies and shows from YouTube Red.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ixzgNR5AxRM\" width=\"384\" height=\"215\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Get YouTube TV on My Smart TV?
