Reviews for YouTube TV: Live TV & more

*edit* the stuff below was from a year and a half ago, and NOTHING has changed. Every time you turn around theyre dropping channels and sending you an email about how they're charging you more for less. It's a scam at this point. Flat out. They keep raising prices and dropping channels. There's a button to "submit feedback" but it literally doesn't do anything when you click it. I've had YouTube tv for a few years now and it has gotten worse and worse while the price has gone up and up

Just okay. Biggest issue is it's a pain to watch your recorded shows. You navigate horizontally and the oldest episode is all the way to the right. You have to move all the way over to start watching at the last recorded episode. Plus it sometimes mixes in live shows. Other issue is there are no profiles... ?? Your whole household's viewing history is combined. Really waters down the recommendations because they are based on everyone. Great in terms of the quantity of content.

limited access on increasing number of programs. On-demand streaming commercials are almost double the decibels of the program. Furthermore, they're increasing prices. Probably will leave soon. The app periodically crashes too, which is infuriating because it takes so much time to launch and watch 2 minutes of commercials in order to resume. F*** you Google. you used to be good.

Rates going up! in general, for $40/month, I was willing to subscribe. But I was just informed my rates are going up by $10 each month. It no longer has the same appeal at $50/month. Combination of local channels and sports was great. Unlimited cloud DVR was a plus, but many shows won't allow you to skip commercials. At $50 a month, I'll be looking for another option.

Recently, it's glitching to a black screen where I have to turn my phone off and back on for it to fix. And now the pause button and fast forward and rewind buttons are just gone.. They don't show up on the screen anymore. If I touch in the places they used to be, they'll sometimes work, but nothing is viable. The progress bar is gone too. It's making it very hard to watch on my phone like I used to.

Pretty buggy. Too hard to browse live TV. In app, I can only see what's currently live, but not what's starting in 15 minutes for example. If there's a program that starts in the future, and I just want to go to that channel, there aren't options to do so from the program page. Broadcasting to my TV, or more specifically changing programs while broadcasting from my phone is buggy. Detinitely not as good as the normal YT app, very expensive, interface could be better, but gets the job done.

Great price and a huge viewing selection and options to choose from but what good is it if you can never watch anything all the way through, Live or Recorded, due to continuous freezing, buffering or no connection at all and I can't spend another month with the"Oops something went wrong" message!! Unfortunately, I MUST go back to Direct TV. The price is higher than I would like but YouTube proves that you get what you pay for.

I like the concept that YouTube has here and for the price it's great but there is still a lot to update and make better. First thing is the amount of channels is ok not at the amount of some other apps but the price is cheaper. Second thing is the sound quality is horrible. I'll be watching a on demand show and the show it's self is really hard to hear unless you turn it up a lot to when they have their add commercials come on the sound is crazy loud to almost blowing out my speakers. I don't have a cheap sound system and I don't have just a sound bar so I know it's not my equipment because this doesn't happen anywhere else. YouTube please fix this issue. Last thing is that there needs to be a already watched this episode option. I have a bunch of shows in my library that say 2 or 3 episode that are unwatched but when I go in it is already something I have seen it just didn't mark it off. This is a little annoying and makes you think you have missed something. The live TV is great but does take a while to load sometimes but the quality I think is better than cable. I will keep using this but I hope it gets better.

Just meh. I pay $72 a month for youtube tv and it was only supposed to be $60, is my 1st issue. Secondly, for $72 a month all the shows I have recorded has 10 commercials per 30 min-60 min shows that you can not fast forward through. To me that's absolutely ridiculous considering I only pay $19 for netflix WITHOUT commercials! For me I haven't experienced any "playback errors" as others have. I think for the price a whole lot of updating and fixing issues need to be made to justify the cost!

Well, there was definitely things I liked. But suddenly after 4 days of the trial the channel won't load no matter how many apps/channels i delete from my Roku. I would not recommend this at all if you use a Roku device. Sad, because it has a good premise. Being able to rearrange and edit what channels show up and the order of them. But if it won't load, its pointless.
