You're really good at helping people find out how to break free from the high cost of cable and satellite and watch the shows they enjoy at a lower price and helping them navigate the apps

Thanks, Michael, for the superb guide. Keep up the great work you are doing to help all cord cutters.

Hi Michael, I have been hanging around your channel for about 2 years now debating on going the streaming route.
I have had cable TV for over 30 years. So simple coming home and there is an instant live channel talking to you, then you put groceries away and start channel surfing. Fast and easy.
Then my 2 year contract with my cable provider was up December 8.
There was no negotiating because I was an existing customer.
The current cable + internet was going from $187 to $260 a month for the same exact plan.

Because of you and your channel, I bought 3 Roku’s for each TV set everything up on my own, restablished my Netflix plan onto the roku’s and signed up for YouTube TV with the 21 day trial, as well as using the
The free Pluto Tv app which has an amazing selection under their movies category.
I owe this all to you because of your dedication to keeping us up to date on streaming. Plus I followed your How-to videos for setting up Roku and Beginning YouTube TV.
Thank, thank you, thank you.

I've had You Tube TV for over 6 months. Love it with ONE exception: NO TRUE 5.1 SURROUND SOUND...only a manufactured 2.1 tossed to the rear speakers. I use a 1 year old Sony 85" TV with the Sony Sonos full sound system.

Thank you! This was the best beginner’s guide - thorough, easy to follow, and on point.

[maclover]

Great tutorial!!! Your pace, voice and information are excellent! Thank you!

[barbaraorr]

Just cut the proverbial cord earlier today. I've learned a lot watching this video. Will probably watch it several more times (along with some of your others) as I'm a slow learner. :o) Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[ejpeiker]

This completely demystified YouTube TV on my smart TV - thanks so much

[dougnelson]

Thanks for the great tutorial Michael. I'm a newbee and this really helped.

I signed up for YTTV 2 days ago. This WAS the ultimate guide to help get me started. I am now 100% comfortable with navigating YTTV. Great video!!!

Thanks so much, Michael, for all your videos. I finally did a YouTubeTV trial a month ago. I liked it and actually had more channels and features than my basic cable package (the DVR, on demand programs, etc.). So I got the one day NBA deal last week for $75 off the first 3 months (even after another 2 week free trial but I just had to use another Google account). I felt so good walking into my cable company yesterday with boxes and remotes in hand and telling them to cancel my TV! A liberating experience! And I have more shelf space in my TV rooms and less cords and cables, etc. For 3 months, I'll save $85 a month and then once my subscription goes to the regular price, I'll be saving about $60 a month. It was easy for me since I use Chromecast for years now anyway to stream stuff. Great job!

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL.
I just dropped sat tv - was going to OTA (and still might - for the local 'point' channels).
Going to give YT TV a try...I have an older TV but I have had Amazon Firestick for a couple of years so good to go.
I look forward to not having signal loss during rough weather (Iowa) when you need the TV the most, lol.

[elizabethrhymer]

I appreciate this video, it's very clear and helpful.

[MsDCtheperson]

Thank you! So much easier to see things demonstrated to learn how to use them.

[felishapannell]

Thank you so much. You explain step by step on how YouTube TV works. I can't wait to start watching my favwrite shows.

[drender]

Thanks so much for doing this video. It was really helpful

[RB-rees]

Michael, Thanks for the great tutorial which all but eliminated the learning curve. I cut the cord and although YouTube TV isn't the cheapest option, I am saving 1/2 the monthly amount of my traditional cable and with a much cleaner picture!

[chriggsiii]

It's been said so often this is probably superfluous; but this is superb. I can just imagine the hours and hours of work that went into this. As someone who used to write up manuals at work for fellow employees myself, I know the effort involved in figuring out the right order, putting the head into that of the student, polishing and refining descriptions of procedures, etc. etc. Truly outstanding.

I'm a member of a YouTube TV "family." It may be a tiny minority, but I had to take your tutorial and edit it slightly for those family members because members don't have full access to all the features you mention. I don't know if the minority of family members who cannot take full advantage of everything in your tutorial are large enough to justify an alternate version of your tutorial, but I'm happy to share with you the changes I made to your tutorial, if you're curious.

Kudos again! I looked for several hours for a really good YouTube TV tutorial for our "family" and yours won going away; no comparison!

[wkqiwoz]

Thank you for this. Very well done. Super helpful!

[davepecoraro]

Thanks Michael. I think it will work. I just need to change location once a year. Appreciate the response.
