Does anyone have YouTube TV?

[jjwv_mu_rivals]

I'm thinking in my new house to cut the cord. D-TV is pissing me off with their constant rising prices. I don't watch 75% of the channels I'm paying for. My local cable company plan is great, but doesn't have a few channels that are "must watch" for me. I had a friend tell me about YouTube TV. He loves it.

If you have it....

1. What's the quality viewing like?
2. Is it user friendly?
3. Is it worth it?

Never used YouTube TV. I have used SlingTV, which works great, has Roku app.

Quality on all those services are dependent upon your connection speeds. But if you don't watch a ton of channels, and they have the channels you do want, then they're not bad solutions to "cutting the cord."

I have AT&T Now and love it, but I’m locked in at beta testing rates. If I didn’t have that rate, I’d be all over YouTube TV. In fact, might add YouTube TV to Canaan Valley place.

Oh - User friendly: No. Especially if you are used to traditional remotes. Takes some time to adjust

I cut the cord two months ago. Decided on Roku app and Hulu. Already had Amazon and Netflix. I have everything I watch except for AMC...but I can live without that.

Pretty east to navigate and may spend the extra $10 to get ad free programming but I am moving in a month so I will wait and do it then.

I have YouTube TV and it is great and you get it on a computer and mobile devices as well. View quality is very good, extremely user-friendly.

I had ATT with low rates and still moved to Youtube. The deal there was better for the channels I really wanted and it gave me locals that ATT wouldnt. Worked better too.

To OP: you can try it for free for 5 days. Open an account and see how you like it. No risk at all.

Not available in my area. I have HBO go with my phone plan, so no biggie.

I had PSVue for two years and loved it. They just announced they are getting out of the streaming service. I just started with Hulu and really like it.....I went with them over YouTube TV because I can have streaming devices on all 7 TV's that I currently have for 9.99 more per month. YouTubeTV will only allow 3 streaming devices. Hula basic will also allow 3 streaming devices.
The picture quality is great on all the mentioned streaming services. Hulu basic allows 50hours of DVR service while YouTube TV allows unlimited service.

I have Youtube TV and I've had Sling before too and my problem with both of them is that it takes several seconds to change channels. In the old days, before digital cable, you could watch several games at once. Enter a channel and boom, you're there.

Then digital cable came along and the change took a second or two.

Now the Internet TV channels take many seconds. Things are getting worse.

Other than that, Youtube TV is okay. It doesn't have Comedy Central, which is disappointing. And I'd rather pick my channels and pay less. Not only do I not watch most of the channels, I hate the fact that I'm giving money to the cable news networks.

Just like the regular Youtube, Youtube TV guesses what you want to watch and offers it to you. Sometimes that's convenient but sometimes it's a pain. If you tend to watch the same things over and over you'll find it convenient. If you watch a lot of football then as soon as you open it up, boom, whatever football games are on at the time are in your list.

Had that problem with ATT, but YT is very fast for me.
