YouTube is now available nationwide, but there are several ways to watch it on an old TV. Streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV are great for this purpose. They come with YouTube preinstalled. Streaming devices are also easy to install. To get started, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_TV_is_available_nationwide_in_the_United_States\"><\/span>YouTube TV is available nationwide in the United States<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google&#8217;s streaming TV service, YouTube TV, has expanded into 95 more markets in the United States. The service now covers 98% of households nationwide, up from 50% in April 2017. YouTube is expanding into the markets below, as well as those it currently serves. The company plans to add 17 more markets in the coming weeks. The service will soon be available in every city in the United States. Users can sign up for a free trial by clicking here.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things you should know about the service. It&#8217;s not yet available in every market, but the service is expanding quickly in many areas. YouTube TV includes local broadcast networks in at least 90% of the country. Depending on your location, you can get channels like TBS, CNN, ESPN, FX, and more. You can also record shows with its unlimited cloud DVR, and there&#8217;s a Help Center on its website, if you get stuck.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_not_a_part_of_YouTube\"><\/span>It&#8217;s not a part of YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So you want to watch YouTube on your old TV, but you don&#8217;t know how to get started? Don&#8217;t worry. YouTube TV is now available to Americans. The platform is a separate entity from YouTube, but they share some content. Here&#8217;s what you need to know. Before you install YouTube TV on your TV, be sure to read the help center first. Then you&#8217;ll be on your way to cable-free live TV.<\/p>\n<p>Apple TV owners don&#8217;t need to worry. YouTube has an app that works on third-generation Apple TVs. You can even use AirPlay to share your screen with a third-generation Apple TV. Apple TVs from the first two generations don&#8217;t support the newer version of YouTube and don&#8217;t run tvOS, the operating system that allows older Apple TVs to run some apps. And because of this, YouTube can&#8217;t push updates to older devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_compatible_with_older_Apple_TVs\"><\/span>It&#8217;s compatible with older Apple TVs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the YouTube app isn&#8217;t available for Apple TVs from the first to third generations, the newer models are fully compatible with the YouTube app. They also have built-in App Stores and run on tvOS software. If you have an older Apple TV model, you can download the YouTube app, but you&#8217;ll need to sign in to the App Store using your Google account. This guide outlines a few options for installing the YouTube app on older Apple TVs.<\/p>\n<p>First, you can use AirPlay to watch YouTube on older Apple TVs. If your Apple TV is running tvOS, you can also use AirPlay to access the app. This will allow you to share your screen with your third-generation Apple TV. Second-generation Apple TVs don&#8217;t run tvOS and won&#8217;t be able to run many media apps. Therefore, YouTube won&#8217;t push updates to older Apple TVs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_compatible_with_Chromecast_devices\"><\/span>It&#8217;s compatible with Chromecast devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google has made their voice-controlled speaker and connected TV compatible with the Chromecast. Chromecast allows you to control media from your smartphone or tablet, making it a convenient way to enjoy your media on the big screen. Using Google TV with the Chromecast is as easy as setting up your phone or tablet to the device and casting from there. The device is compatible with Android 6.0 and later, and iPhones and iPads running iOS 12.0 or later.<\/p>\n<p>The Chromecast was released in 2013 by Google and is still supported and manufactured by Google. It enables you to cast audio, video, and games from your Android phone or tablet to your TV. To use it, you need to download a Chromecast app on your device. You can also use Google Cast to stream content from your smartphone or tablet to your television. Using the Chromecast, you can play media from your music, video, and local storage. Chromecast also lets you cast content from a shared resource such as Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Watch YouTube on an Old TV If you&#8217;re wondering how to watch YouTube on an old TV, you&#8217;re not alone.
