I have no complaints. Get the channels I NEED and not the 200 extra that I don’t watch. Was able to get rid of cable at both my home and office.

Don’t get it for DVR features!

If you want an app to watch channels live, this tends to work ok. But the cloud-based DVR? Garbage! Most of my experience is with the Apple TV version but the poor cloud DVR functionality persists across any version I have, from my experiences. Same on the Samsung smart tv app and same on my iPhone app. And Internet bandwidth isn’t the problem. So, what do I mean by poor functionality? Pause live TV: Pausing works fine. However, if you do anything (ff, rewind) but just play from that pause, you will likely run into problems. The problems range from choppy video/sound to frozen picture to an “I give up” screen where it tells you an error happened and the best they can do is give you a cryptic 16 character code and ask you to go deliver it to them!? Recording shows to watch later: This tends to work a little better. Although I do run into similar problems at times, the most common annoyance is the lack of preview scenes when you’re skipping around. These preview windows show up sometimes but seem to be getting more and more rare, which makes movement through a recorded program tedious. Also, one more annoyance, if you select a program on a network channel like ABC to record regularly, be aware that if you have more than one ABC channel (local & national, maybe) then the app will randomly record each day from either of them. Which, for me, is frustrating. I get local news on one but not the other. No way to choose to record just the one channel apparently.

Love service but app is buggy

They do keep updating which sometimes causes and sometimes fixes issues. 3/31 New update came out yesterday and app no longer works. You can play something but you can't posit for fast forward or rewind. 3/15/18 Had to lower stars because they put out an iPhone update that makes it impossible to switch what you are watching without disconnecting and reconnecting from Chromecast. They just keep putting out buggy versions. This is a far superior tv service to Hulu tv however I have to restart my phone and chromecast several times a day to watch stuff. Now more frequently. I enjoy the DVR, guide, movie selection, and not having to pay for Comcast very much! Best service maybe ever, but I can't give it high stars because it's an App rating. I frequently have to disconnect and reconnect to chromecast just to unpause and then I loose my place. It's frustrating!!! The guide needs work in letting you see what's on next. It's impossible to read about other movies or browse because the app starts what page you're on. Other then buggy iPhone app issues, the streaming quality is great, they keep adding channels, customer service really does try, and it the app is easy to use. The unlimited DVR sure is motivation to stay with this service and for the price it's certainly beyond worth it!

Need help

Perfect for my Family!

I was looking for a cheaper option for cable and this was my first option for a trial run. It has all the channels we watch and even better has local channels! The connection runs great in our area and we never have any issues. I love that it records all my favorite shows and notifies me when they are about to start. Great app!!!!

Sent so many requests. Called support

Still keeps on buffering. Common someone should be able to help why am not able to watch even one program from my dvr.,

The Future of Television

As the price of my cable started to rise more and more each month, I got tired of paying for services that me and my family barely used. I heard about YouTube TV, Sling TV, and a couple of other internet tv options. I did my research and decided to try YouTube TV and it was a great decision. It’s easy to install, navigate, and provides the basic channels that I really actually NEED along with unlimited storage space for recordings. They also have great on-demand movie selections too. All of that for 40$ a month is a killer price for me. If you don’t mind missing a couple of entertainment channels like MTV, Vh1, or BET, you’ll be fine. The platform is only about a year old and is still growing. I’m pretty sure in the months to come they are going to keep on adding more and more channels at the base price. I couple this together with my Netflix and it’s just amazing. Saving about 70$ a month now since cutting the cable. I love it.

Doesn't work

You can't actually watch any television without expensive subscriptions. This is different from cable tv how?

Awful app

Kelldore

Wow where do I start? How about the obscene amount of commercials to begin with. Or the app crashing. Or the awful buffering issues even on high speed Internet. For 40$ a month? No thanks I’ll spend that money on a service that works and doesn’t interrupt a movie or show every 15 min for commercials that last for several minutes themselves. Lastly your cancellation process and support is absolutely atrocious.
