I absolutely love Michael Saves. I started watching his cut the cord videos a couple of months before I actually made the cut. His dedication to helping us through the process is amazing. I also love that he actually answers our questions. Thank you Michael. You have really helped my husband and I tremendously.😊♥️👍🏾

After looking a dozens of other "tutorials" this is BY FAR the most useful, informative video on YTTV I've seen. Good job and thanks much.

[margievalenti]

I've looked for information on You Tube TV before and this is the most comprehensive. I appreciate that you also mention the things you cannot do.

I just canceled our HULU subscription this morning. Since the last IOS update on our IPads - the TCM channel A-Z movie choices have NO audio. They told me it’s a known issue and that they are working on it. Slowly it seems because it’s been weeks. Again, we seniors are probably the largest audience for this channel and they don’t care about us. I’m going to give YouTube TV a try. Thank Michael! Your videos have been very helpful!

[ibdonna]

Thank you for explaining DVR & VOD!!!! 🙌🏼🎉😅 I couldn’t understand why some shows in a series I recorded had commercials and others didn’t & it was driving me crazy. I can now fast forward through the endless commercials😁
Thanks again for the help!

Almost at 50, 000 subscribers. Congratulations!

This was actually really helpful thank you bro

[ricktangora]

So it has all these features except for the one I was searching for, which is to delete the content I’ve watched. Why would they not provide a way to clean out the dvr?

After watching this entire video (GREAT video btw), I realized that what I thought of the DVR was correct. This DVR completely sucks compared to the Fubo DVR. I decided to switch to YouTube TV due to the extra channels, but not sure if it's worth it. You may get more channels on YouTube TV, but it comes at a cost. Not sure if I'll end up staying with YT TV.

I have added shows to my library but I am not getting any options to choose VOD or DVR. How do I get the option of DVR? Is it a different subscription?

[madonnafohrman]

We want our MN local channels....you dropped them!!!

[rjayt]

Thanks for your help. I have not yet signed up for YouTube TV yet. If you are watching a live TV show that has not been added to your library, are you able to rewind, pause and fast forward through it?

[maurycohen]

Something I have noticed about using the DVR is the picture quality is not as good as say watching it live on certain channels like AMC or local channels. It seems a little blurry and dark scenes you may see some of those pixelation images flashing. Now if i watch the same program on the VOD option the picture quality is much better than the DVR is there any explanation for this?

[johnbutkovich]

I am new to youtube tv. Your video is quite helpful. I also agree with most of the comments here, such as the ability to delete recordings would be nice. When recording a program such as an NFL football game it will frequently run beyond the time indicated in the schedule. Will youtube tv record the complete game or is the a way add extra time to be recorded?

[davidlaidig]

The only thing that I miss from Spectrum is the Record light!🤣 Forward and reverse is a little radical.

[spaceghost]

I really like the DVR.
It would be perfect if you could add and delete single episodes or the entire group of recordings for series.
That would help unclutter the DVR.

[rjayt]

One other question is whether my current Android TV would support all of the features of YouTube TV. It is a Sony model No. XBR-49X800D. I am not sure if I would need to purchase something like Chromecast with Google TV first.

After watching a show in the New in Your Library is there a feature that will reflect Watched automatically? If I recall correctly it used to mark them as Watched. Thanks for your response.
