YouTube TV

YouTube TV delivers live television over the internet in the United States, combining local broadcast channels with a selection of cable networks. News and sports are part of its appeal, but the actual lineup depends on location and carriage agreements. It should not be assumed to include every major network or every regional sports channel. Unlimited cloud DVR storage is a defining feature, allowing households to build recording libraries without choosing which programs to delete for space.

A membership supports separate accounts for up to six household members, each with a personal library and recommendations; that is different from six simultaneous streams. Selected content can be available in 4K through an additional option. YouTube TV suits households seeking a cable-style viewing mix with internet-based access and personal recording controls. Its value rests on whether the local channel selection matches the programs the household watches.
