Live TV service by Google
YouTube TV: Live TV & more is a premium multimedia application for steaming videos made by Google LLC. It is a live TV service that seamlessly integrates with Google’s popular video-sharing platform, YouTube. With it, users will be able to watch live streams from major local and international broadcast networks.
On top of YouTube TV: Live TV & more’s monthly paid subscription, users will also get to enjoy ad-free viewing on the standard YouTube platform. There’s also a 1-month free trial available to newcomers to let them experience what the service has to offer before deciding to subscribe.
YouTube plus TV
YouTube is the biggest and most popular video-sharing platform in the world today with more than 2 billion users actively viewing or uploading content to it. Over the years, it has tried to diversify into other services like YouTube Music for music fans and YouTube Go for emerging markets. Another one is YouTube TV: Live TV & more, which is an attempt at making live TV more accessible.
YouTube TV: Live TV & more is essentially live TV without the cord. The service hosts more than 100 channels from the biggest broadcasting networks in the US, as well as various over-the-top(OTT) and cloud-based media content available online. One highlight feature is its wide compatibility with various devices and platforms, from mobile to PC and even to TVs with compatible streaming hardware.
Your subscription can be shared with up to six accounts and allows for up three active users at the same time. Now, as mentioned earlier, it’s available as a monthly service, and there’s no contract or lock-in required, too. It does lack some channels like HBO for some reason, and if you’re expected the same large catalog of original shows like Netflix, you’ll find it lacking.
A great alternative
If you’ve been meaning to “cut the cord” and go all wireless for all your media consumption habits, YouTube TV: Live TV & more is a great alternative that will still let you watch all your favorite cable channels from on the go. It has plenty of channels to choose from, and it even bundles in YouTube Premium as part of your subscription.
