There’s no shortage of streaming video services available today, and now we’ve got one more to add to the list.
YouTube TV is now official. The service offers live TV streaming from the major four networks — ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC — as well as ESPN, regional sports networks, and cable networks like MSNBC, Fox News, USA, FX, Disney Channel, E!, and Bravo. YouTube TV will also offer Showtime and Fox Soccer Plus for an additional fee. In total, the service will offer 46 channels.
In addition to offering all of these channels for streaming, YouTube TV has a way for you to save shows for rewatching later. The service includes a cloud DVR with no storage limit, meaning that you can record as many shows as you want simultaneously. Shows will be stored for nine months.
YouTube TV is launching soon in the largest US markets and will then expand to more cities. You can sign up here to find out when YouTube TV will arrive in your city.
Pricing starts at $35 per month with no commitment. That price includes six accounts, each with its own recommendations and cloud DVR. The service supports three concurrent streams at a time. Also included with a YouTube TV subscription is access to the YouTube Red Original shows.
When it comes to device support, YouTube TV will be available on phones, tablets, and computers. You can also stream to your TV using Chromecast.
YouTube Red seems to offer a nice selection of channels, including both the four major networks and other big names like ESPN, E!, and Fox News. There are other streaming services that offer similar channels, and in some cases larger channel selections, and so YouTube TV is using its cloud DVR feature to help it stand out.
The ability to save unlimited shows to a cloud DVR and have access to them on your devices sounds like a neat idea. Whether or not that’s a big deal to you will depend on how often you watch TV on the go, and we’ll have to wait until YouTube TV actually launches to see how the cloud DVR and the service as a whole performs.
