YouTube TV 8.02

Introducing YouTube TV, a revolutionary app that brings live TV streaming straight to your device. With a wide range of channels available, you can now enjoy your favorite shows and programs without the need for a cable subscription or being tied to your television.

Unlike the regular YouTube app, YouTube TV offers a cable-TV-like experience with a program guide, DVR capabilities, and channel selection. What sets it apart from other similar apps is its extensive list of channels. For just $50, you can access over 70 channels, including popular networks like ABC, Fox, CBS, and NBC, as well as news channels such as BBC World News, CNBC, and CNN. Sports enthusiasts will also be delighted with channels like ESPN, Big Ten Network, Olympic Channel, SEC Network, and CBS Sports Network. And for the little ones, there's Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, and Universal Kids.

The app's design is simple and user-friendly, with three main tabs: Library, Home, and Live. The Library tab allows you to access your DVR content, while the Home tab showcases featured and live thumbnails. The Live tab displays a grid of currently playing shows and upcoming programs. You can easily search for specific content using the search bar at the top of the page.

One of the standout features of YouTube TV is its DVR functionality. You can rewind and fast-forward through recordings, even if they haven't finished yet. The DVR cloud also allows you to store recorded shows for up to nine months. However, there have been some issues with the cloud DVR, particularly with recordings from CBS being automatically replaced by shows from the network's on-demand library. This issue, however, does not affect recordings from other networks.

While YouTube TV may not be the cheapest live TV app available, its extensive channel selection and impressive DVR capabilities make it a worthwhile investment. If you're looking for a diverse range of channels without the constraints of a traditional cable company, YouTube TV is definitely worth considering. With its intuitive interface and excellent performance, you'll get your money's worth and enjoy a seamless live TV streaming experience.
