Alright, welcome back, everybody.
[1]
Craig here, and I am here
talking again about YouTube TV.
[5]
This is one where we've
talked about it in the past,
[8]
a couple times actually,
[8]
and we keep getting lots
of comments about it,
[10]
a lot of frequently asked
questions you might say.
[12]
So I wanted to address
a few of those today.
[14]
Before I do, make sure you
hit that subscribe button
[16]
and the bell icon,
[17]
because we're back here
every Wednesday and Friday
[19]
with videos just like this,
and we hope to see you there.
[21]
Now, let's get started.
[23]
(energetic music)
[29]
(moves into gentle guitar music)
[32]
YouTube TV is now in
almost a hundred markets
[35]
across the country, and it
covers 98% of the population.
[39]
So it is nationwide.
[40]
There are a few pockets still missing.
[42]
If you are at all concerned
[43]
that you might be one of those pockets
[45]
just go to tv.youtube.com,
enter your five-digit zip code,
[49]
and they'll tell you not
only whether it works there
[51]
but which channels you get.
[55]
Well, it comes with a lot of them.
[56]
It is missing a few key ones,
[57]
and we'll get to those later,
[58]
but it has a few that its
competitors may be missing
[61]
like AMC, BBC America.
[63]
They've got NBA TV.
[65]
They also have YouTube originals
[67]
which can be a big deal for you.
[72]
It is missing a few channels
that may concern you,
[75]
Discovery, History, HGTV, and
all of the Viacom channels.
[80]
So that's MTV, BET, Comedy
Central, Nickelodeon.
[84]
Those are Viacom channels.
[85]
Those are all out.
[86]
You can get those on other services,
[88]
like Philo is a good add-on for 16 bucks
[91]
to kind of supplement the
channel count here on YouTube.
[96]
Yes, it does.
[97]
Actually, that's one
reason why YouTube TV,
[99]
a couple of years ago, had
kind of a slow rollout,
[101]
because they were concerned about getting
[102]
as many local channels for
every area as they could,
[106]
and so they wouldn't
expand to a metro area
[108]
unless they could get
all those local channels.
[110]
So, if it's available in your area,
[112]
there's a good chance that most
[114]
or all of your local
channels will be on there.
[119]
Works on a ton of different devices,
[121]
your phone, your tablet,
streaming devices, of course.
[124]
What you need to watch
out for is Amazon Fire,
[126]
the Amazon Fire TV devices
or the Fire TV smart TVs.
[132]
Those do not run a YouTube TV app,
[134]
so you won't be able to use it there.
[136]
It's also not available
on the PlayStation 4
[139]
because they have PlayStation Vue
[140]
that they wanna push you toward.
[145]
Each subscription gets
six separate accounts.
[148]
That is not the same thing as
simultaneous streams though.
[154]
You get three simultaneous streams.
[156]
So six accounts can be
streaming three things at once.
[161]
No.
[165]
Storage on the DVR is unlimited.
[168]
However, we did just recently do a video,
[170]
kinda, talking about this specifically
[172]
because it's a great selling
point for YouTube TV.
[175]
It just comes with a few caveats.
[176]
So if you haven't watched our video on
[179]
how the YouTube TV DVR works,
make sure you check it out.
[185]
Obviously if you're watching live TV,
[186]
you cannot fast forward.
[187]
If you are watching a
recorded show, maybe.
[192]
If it is a recorded show that
is not available On Demand
[195]
then it will be your recording
[197]
that you can fast forward through.
[198]
Sometimes though, if you recorded a show
[200]
that is available On Demand,
they'll shovel you over
[203]
toward that and that one will
make you watch commercials,
[206]
the On Demand version.
[210]
Yes, some services like
Sling TV have restrictions
[214]
on certain channels, and
you can't record 'em,
[217]
not so on YouTube TV.
[221]
YouTube TV is a live TV streaming service.
[225]
YouTube Premium is a premium
version of YouTube.com.
[230]
So, YouTube Premium does no commercials
[233]
and that sort of thing on YouTube videos.
[235]
YouTube TV is completely separate.
[238]
One of my favorite
features about YouTube TV
[240]
is that you can arrange the
channels in any order you want,
[244]
and so if you find yourself
watching the same 10
[246]
over and over again,
[247]
you can put those in the top of your guide
[249]
and customize it that way,
[250]
one of my favorite things about it.
[254]
One last note before we go
[256]
is that if there are problems
with your YouTube TV stream,
[259]
it's possible, especially
if you're using a browser
[263]
on your computer or
your laptop or whatever,
[266]
that your browser may be out of date.
[267]
So make sure you update that,
[268]
put it to the latest version possible,
[271]
and that should help out.
[273]
Alright, hopefully that
answers some questions for you.
[274]
