Why You Need YouTube TV

Why You Need YouTube TV

Carter Voss, editor

1.The ability to have every channel: With YouTube TV, every channel on regular cable is at your fingertips. Every show on those channels are available for you to watch.  

2. Recording like a DVR: The great alternative to regular streaming is that YouTube TV lets users select which shows to record. Like a DVR when that show is on, it is recorded and kept in your library. 

3. Ease of access: Having conjunction with google services, YouTube TV uses your already existing Gmail account to set up a paid membership. Since it is a Google service, you will have the security that your information is kept private.  

4. Multiple users: Like Netflix, YouTube TV let’s each viewer have their own profile. The owner of the account adds each new person by email. Therefore, each person logs on with their own Google email and password.  

5. Live TV: Since YouTube TV uses cable channels, the ability to watch live TV and sports is now an option. Instead of paying for ESPN, YouTube TV gives viewers the option to watch any sporting event live with skippable commercials. This also applies to other TV shows.  

YouTube TV Provides an alternative to Netflix, Hulu, and cable since it provides streaming of old shows, current season, and live TV. Starting at $40 a month, the service is pricier compared to Netflix and Hulu, but since it is comparable to cable, the price is appropriate.
