This new streaming service provides access to dozens of channels and is free to sign up for. It allows you to record shows and has a free trial period to try out the service. Streaming services have grown in popularity, and some consumers have even ditched their cable TV service in favor of cheaper streaming content. But many of these streaming services make it difficult to access network shows and live events. YouTube TV is meant to solve these problems by offering consumers access to popular cable channels and live TV.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_TV_is_a_live_TV_streaming_service\"><\/span>YouTube TV is a live TV streaming service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a free live TV streaming service, look no further than YouTube TV. This service is available on smart TVs with Android TV. These include models from Sony, Vizio, Hisense, and more. You can also use the YouTube TV app on a Chromecast device to stream the content to your TV. And if you want to stream the service on a console, the YouTube TV app also works with the PS5 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube TV interface has a clean, simple design and is reminiscent of the regular YouTube website. Users can browse by genre or by popularity. The user interface includes a robust search function for finding specific shows or channels. You can also concatenate multiple searches to find exactly what you&#8217;re looking for. Moreover, you can easily manage your subscription details, billing information, and add-on channels. All of this makes it a good choice for people with limited time to watch TV.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_has_dozens_of_channels\"><\/span>It has dozens of channels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube TV has dozens of channels, and most are free, allowing you to watch all your favorite channels without paying a dime. ViacomCBS channels were previously unavailable on YouTube TV, but that has changed since the platform added eight of the networks&#8217; channels. ViacomCBS channels include BET, CMT, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land, VH1, MTV2, TeenNick, Cartoon Network, and CNN. You can also find Turner Classic Movies and BBC World News on the service.<\/p>\n<p>Although YouTube TV is only available in the United States, it has an impressive slate of channels. You can find live sports events from ESPN, Fox Sports, and NBC, as well as on-demand 4K content from Discovery, FX, Nat Geo, Tastemade, and other top brands. If you are a sports fan, YouTube TV has a huge catalog of sports content, and its Help Center provides detailed information about the service.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_lets_you_record_shows\"><\/span>It lets you record shows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Streaming devices such as Apple TV and Roku let you record live TV shows on the streaming service. The live TV recording feature is accessible through the plus sign icon that appears below the title of a program. To record a show, simply tap on the plus sign and select the desired program. When the recording is complete, YouTube TV replaces the incomplete recording with the entire show. It also allows users to record up to 10 hours of programming at once.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional DVRs, which store your recordings on a hard drive, YouTube TV lets you record as many shows as you want. The content is stored on YouTube&#8217;s servers, so you don&#8217;t need a separate storage device or DVR to record. However, you can delete a show from your library after nine months if you don&#8217;t want to watch it again. Fortunately, the free service does not have a limit on the number of shows you can record.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_has_a_free_trial\"><\/span>It has a free trial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Interested in trying out YouTube TV before you purchase it? There&#8217;s a 14-day free trial available. You can use it to try out the service and redeem promotional codes before committing to a monthly plan. However, if you&#8217;re not completely satisfied with the service, you can always request a refund. Once you cancel your membership, you&#8217;ll lose access to YouTube TV immediately. However, don&#8217;t worry. YouTube TV has a way to reverse the transaction.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube TV offers a free trial of its basic service. The free trial period is usually seven or fourteen days, depending on the add-on. Starz is available for a five-day free trial. Once you&#8217;ve completed the free trial, the service will automatically switch to a monthly billing cycle. It&#8217;s easy to get hooked and continue watching YouTube TV without paying. But make sure you&#8217;re careful. YouTube TV has a cancellation policy in place so you don&#8217;t have to worry about getting stuck with an expensive monthly plan that&#8217;s too costly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_has_agreements_with_Roku_and_Disney\"><\/span>It has agreements with Roku and Disney<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you may be aware, YouTube TV has had its share of high-profile carriage disputes this year, affecting both its agreements with hardware providers to carry its apps and deals to stream content from other companies. Just three months ago, the streaming platform was days away from losing access to NBCUniversal channels. The two sides subsequently came to a carriage agreement. And earlier this month, Roku announced plans to carry the YouTube TV app on its platform.<\/p>\n<p>Both companies have a stake in YouTube TV, and their deals with Disney and Roku have the potential to be very lucrative for both companies. Whether the two companies will be able to work out a fair agreement is a key question mark. Some analysts believe the Disney-YouTube TV dispute will be settled within a matter of days, but the long-term viability of YouTube TV depends on the outcome of that fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Does YouTube TV Work?
