The Roku app is nice, but seems a bit slow. Might just be me, but it doesn't

Nice. I've had Youtube tv for 6 months or so now. Really like it.

How do commercials work on recorded programs? Are you able to skip them like

If you record it yes, if you watch it on demand, no.

Thanks

If you record a program that has an on demand option, you will have to watch commercials.

That drives me crazy and is a bug in my opinion

This article says it's based on network contracts.

Holy cow. I've been on the fence about switching but will do it now for sure.

No Hallmark Channel?

Conan

2/13/18 10:28am

Nope, owned by Crown Media and they are reportedly difficult to deal with.

How does it compare to Playstation Vue? I have Vue and love it. It's $45 a

You can use your YouTube login the same way. But you can stream anywhere

Here’s a link

So $40 YouTube TV....$70 internet....I’m losing interest in cord cutting

You can have 5 accounts with YouTube TV. Split it with someone.

2/13/18 10:36am

Do you not currently have internet?

Niiineteeen84

2/13/18 10:37am

Based on my being able to post on CB, I believe I do

Hedonic Threadmill

2/13/18 10:38am

If you would have internet regardless then you shouldn't include it in your cost

Saxa

2/13/18 10:39am

If Xfinity is the same price for internet and way more TV then it should factor

Plato

2/13/18 10:51am

You mean Comcast.. yes, they cut their prices to compete. But a name change

Saxa

2/13/18 11:00am

As opposed to Google support? LOL.

Plato

2/13/18 11:10am

Streaming TV is for people that would have high speed internet regardless

Saxa

2/13/18 10:38am

Exactly how I feel. I pay $120/month for internet and cable. I could save $20/month with YouTube TV but it's not worth

Conan

2/13/18 10:44am

You pay $80/month for your internet? Wow. I pay $32/month for 80/20

scootsy

2/13/18 10:56am

Yeah, it’s a bit of a sore subject right now

Hedonic Threadmill

2/13/18 10:59am

Bundling with Comcast gives me high speed internet and cable for $120/month.

Conan

2/13/18 11:04am

Highly dependent on location. Kaysville UT is not good.

Plato

2/13/18 11:10am

One great advantage is access. You can watch an most of your devices. Plus DVR

Cougar TD

2/13/18 10:45am

Awesome. And we get grandfathered in?

Mr. Belding

2/13/18 10:46am

And I see they have finally added it to Rokku. That is what I have been waiting

ICBlue

2/13/18 10:46am

Yep and Apple TV. It’s a no brainer. It’s awesome.

Mr. Belding

2/13/18 10:48am

Any word on FireTv?

coolcats

2/13/18 10:50am

Amazon and google hate each other. So probably never.

Mr. Belding

2/13/18 10:51am

Just get a $35 Roku stick.

Mr. Belding

2/13/18 10:51am

Do they still give you the free chromecast after the first month?

Cougar TD

2/13/18 10:56am

Not sure. I didn’t want one so waited to sign up until they had a Roku app

Mr. Belding

2/13/18 11:53am

The Roku app is nice, but seems a bit slow. Might just be me, but it doesn't

Cougar TD

2/13/18 10:49am

I'll have to pay better attention to see if this is true for me too.

Grit for Brains

2/13/18 10:51am

Yeah, I use the Roku app almost exclusively now.

I've emailed them a bunch about ATT Sportsnet, no dice yet.

scootsy

2/13/18 10:58am

There is no streaming service that you can do this for.

Pete

2/13/18 10:59am

Directv, according to ATT sportsnet website. Also Reddit 🙂

Plato

2/13/18 11:14am

I think that's only if you're a DirecTV satellite customer. DirecTV Now doesn't have it. Or didn't a couple months ago.

Pete

This is great news.

scottfunkel

2/13/18 10:59am

so it goes up $5 a month?
