"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.
Agree re:DVR. Do I need to schedule a recording? Seems nuts.
could've been worse. They could've said "tape as many shows as you want"
DVR antiquated? Yes, but it's something that the average consumer understands.
true. Same reason why Apple calls it a "Watch". 😬
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! who is at the event
Amazing! A billion hours watched per day, plus cable TV and DVR. That's some scary competition.
AWESOME! What is the rollout timeline?
No Food Network. :(
will this come with as a hardware or we just continue streaming the same way as live videos ?
 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!
same for Australia... 😕🤘🤔
agreed. I would absolutely sign up when it comes though....one day 🙏
Just wait a decade like we did for Spotify.
I am hoping that they roll it out up here the same time they do Google FI ;)
it's FI dead?
Too bad nobody loves the feeling of cancelling Comcast. Oh, wait!
The Trakt.tv team would like to integrate, STAT. Are there any YouTube TV peeps on here who get us in touch?
BYE COMCAST
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!
read somewhere that the TV subscription comes with YouTube Red
You mean Red comes with the TV sub, right?
YouTube & Chill?
Check out NeverThink.tv
that's pretty cool. Got Boiler Room on it too. You made this?
If this has MLB, NFL and NBA with no damn blackouts, sign me up!
not available for now, not taking Canadian's postal code. can't wait to hear more from our local TV oligopolies.
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.
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.
