"Stream ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC & more. Never run out of DVR storage space. 6 accounts, 1 price. $35/month. Cancel anytime." Is it just me or does "DVR" sound incredibly antiquated? DVR was always a hack to get around the real-time broadcast schedule. That said, I'm definitely interested in this as someone who hasn't had cable/satellite TV since I moved out of my parent's house.

@rrhoover Agree re:DVR. Do I need to schedule a recording? Seems nuts.
Jeff Fedor
@rrhoover could've been worse. They could've said "tape as many shows as you want"
Jimmy Douglas
@rrhoover DVR antiquated? Yes, but it's something that the average consumer understands.
Ryan Hoover
@jimmydouglas true. Same reason why Apple calls it a "Watch". 😬

@rrhoover DVR is a solution to can save contents without infringing the distribution rights agreement... because the "live" and "VOD" have a different distribution rights. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YouTube takes on the cable TV providers! • $35 a month. • 6 users can watch on their own devices simultaneously. • Unlimited Cloud DVR. • More to come! Per YouTuber @PhillyD who is at the event
Daeshawn Ballard
@nivo0o0 @phillyd Amazing! A billion hours watched per day, plus cable TV and DVR. That's some scary competition.

@nivo0o0 @phillyd AWESOME! What is the rollout timeline?
Ryan Jenkins
@nivo0o0 @phillyd No Food Network. :(
Nife Oluyemi
@nivo0o0 @phillyd will this come with as a hardware or we just continue streaming the same way as live videos ?
Daylen Sawchuk
@ryanthejenks @nivo0o0 @phillyd Here is the full list of major channels, which are missing from the service (from USA Today): Turner channels, including CNN, Cartoon Network and TNT, the Viacom networks, including Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, and Nickelodeon, Scripps (Food Network and Home and Garden) and HBO.

I love this idea! Sadly, I'm sure it won't be available in Canada!
Paul Hart
@arotheram same for Australia... 😕🤘🤔
Maury Rubin
@arotheram agreed. I would absolutely sign up when it comes though....one day 🙏
Jonny MacEachern
@arotheram Just wait a decade like we did for Spotify.

@arotheram I am hoping that they roll it out up here the same time they do Google FI ;)
Andrew
@zedsq it's FI dead?
Jimmy Douglas
Too bad nobody loves the feeling of cancelling Comcast. Oh, wait!
Jimmy Douglas
The Trakt.tv team would like to integrate, STAT. Are there any YouTube TV peeps on here who get us in touch?

Youtube is quickly becoming where I go to for entertainment! I'm already a big fan of Youtube Red, which is included with my Google Play Music Subscription. Hopefully Youtube TV is even better. Edit: I hope they allow customers to bundle Google Music and Youtube TV. I'd sign up instantly!
Raveesh Bhalla
@gabriel__lewis read somewhere that the TV subscription comes with YouTube Red
Dariank
@raveeshbhalla @gabriel__lewis You mean Red comes with the TV sub, right?

@maarif that's pretty cool. Got Boiler Room on it too. You made this?
Kristian Kabuay
If this has MLB, NFL and NBA with no damn blackouts, sign me up!
Samuel Lavoie
@baybayin not available for now, not taking Canadian's postal code. can't wait to hear more from our local TV oligopolies.
James Jennings
Woah ... I played around with SlingTV on a trial and was left unimpressed. This though, seems like a big damn deal. Definitely keeping a close eye on it.
Dan Hauck
@jamespjennings Same. It's marketed as a "TV-like" experience, but only a few channels are true live feeds, while most are limited selection on-demand shows. Felt more like Netflix than TV.
