You're forced to sit through a ton of ads. Sometimes even double up. They are not unskippable either. Then the quality is sub par. They say 1080p but looks more like low quality 720p if even that. Then the line up itself is nothing special and severely lacking.
The only good thing I can say about it is they have really old shows i enjoy but the cons and price over power that one little good thing.
Sorry, but for the price versus what you get it's a huge scam. Stay away!
On Dec 20,2024, I accepted an offer for a free trial on you tube tv to evaluate to decide whether or not to join the service and gave them my card information and they charged it $1.17. Three days later, while the free trial was ongoing, they charged my card $75.24, wrongly claiming that I signed to start the service. I cancelled as soon as I found out that they charged my card without my consent. They summarily rejected my online application for a refund and there was no other way to reach them by phone or otherwise to explain my case. They stole my money and my advise to whoever ask me is not to get near You Tube TV.
Nothing works well with Record & Playback; when successfully recording, when playing back can not skip commercials (pls note, they are recordings and not VideosOnDemand). The tech support in Phillippines is an ABSOLUTE joke as they have ZERO training and all 20+ agents I have talked to in the last 13 months are just incompetent. Also, these people use a disgusting play: when they can not answer your question(s) they just go SILENT (in hopes that you hang up the phone) - just absolutely unprofessional and rude. There are so many issues with this service than I can write a book; from buffering, to snowy and/or freezing picture (I have good coverage on my home with 500/500 fiber-optic speed). We noticed that if we start recording a show with many seasons/episodes, the system does not display the newly recorded shows but takes us to the VideoOnDemand library so that we are not allowed to skip commercials. But then, even if it is a pure recording there are almost always commercials that you can not skip. JUST A CRIMINAL company! Do yourself a favor and stay away from them... I know there are no 'angel' companies out there anymore but this company is BRUTAL... just draw-quick cowboy-style KILLERS! Last, I feel quite embarrassed finding out how deceiving this company is as 10+ yrs ago I had 'embraced' very favorable whatever was run by Google. Unfortunately, throughout the years I have discovered this company being a wolf dressed in a sheep's hide. They will take you for a ride, 100%.
Channel lineup is lacking compared to hulu for same price. Interface to use appears to be implemented by monkeys or some other primate, not made for human use! The resolution is like watching an old rabbit eats black and white box. Get hulu, or fubo. Steer clear of this garbage you tube app!
Youtube sucks. Price is way to high. $77 is past price and I think I should cancel. But no discount if renew. Back when was $35 month was a good deal. Now fraud to $77 month. Should start a lawsuit on ripping of people. Then they might listen. Just pissed off now.
40 second long ad breaks, watching a video with over 500k views is basically impossible without clicking out and clicking back in to avoid the common 30+ second ads. I use adblock on my pc and you should too, look up uBlock origin folks.
I knew I would be late watching the Super Bowl. So I logged on slightly more than one hour before it started and set the recording. In between that time and the actual start time, YouTube TV system realized I had an updated debit card number. It did not record it. I missed it. Firing this service for life
I got YouTube TV for the NFL season and I pay my bill on time. Every two weeks they are trying to take money out my account stated that my bill needs to be paid. I just canceled my subscription with YouTube. Not good provider.
I called customer service to try and avoid getting my service paused. I knew my payment was going to be late, and I was informed that I had until the next day. I got home from work that evening, then was watching my favorite show, which I had recorded and guess what? They shut me off right in the middle of the show! I was so upset because I had been lied to by the customer service person. I will not go back to that service again!
They advertise 21 day free trial. After I went and signed up I was told it was only 5. I wouldn't have signed up for only 5 days if I new this. With working all the time. Not enough time to check it out thoroughly.
