What’s one thing you’d change about YouTube TV?

[RichardHall-qjkv]

Thanks for helping me navigate to the "intuitive" membership location. The help section was doing nothing but expanding my reading list!

The best thing for pause on YouTube TV is saving some money to help paying other bills like for example grocery, camping, Christmas shopping, or going travel for a vacations!

It would be nice if they included YouTube Premium with YouTube Tv the way Hulu includes the Disney Bundle with Hulu TV. Maybe with their next price increase.

Thanks for your help for this tutorial. It was very good to the point and simple to understand. I appreciate that thank you very much! Luke

I cancel on the same day that I signed up for the free trial and they have charged my bank account for something I didn’t even use. I’m waiting on my money back!

[diamondwchamp]

This is an excellent tutorial. The information was very accurate, with simple instructions. You two are my go-to experts.

[fredparkinson]

Thank you for the clear and concise instructions.
I cancelled because I learned during the trial period that I just wasn't very interested in the material, not enough to pay the cost. I watched television a lot as a kid but now as a retiree I find I have better things to do, like going back to school!

[bjcgjiu]

Good tutorial, thank you. YouTube tv dropping the MLB network was the final straw for me. I have not cancelled yet, still exploring "greener pastures".

[Assassin]

Thank you, I could figure out where to cancel and it was really easy after watching your video. I may come back after my year is up with Spectrum. I know cable usually goes way up after your year as a new member. I don't need to be paying over $200 for cable when I only watch a hand full of channels. YouTube TV or Hulu will be my option next. Thank you!!!

I have had YoutubeTV for over a year. One thing that drew me to YTTV was unlimited dvr. But what good is unlimited dvr when all the shows you like don't get recorder because they are only available by on demand where I am forced to watch dumb commercials over and over? I am going to no ads hulu!

[TaygetaBlue]

Thank you for the information! I intentionally gave up TV years ago (when it switched to digital), and rarely ever need access outside of what is readily available online. I just needed temporary access to a station, so I signed up for the YouTube service. After watching two episodes of a show based here in the States, I was quickly reminded as to why I stopped watching. lol... There's a reason why it's called "programming".

Thank for the video. It was helpful. I like YouTube tv, and I maybe back in a few months. Tried sling, philo, and fubo so far. Next month, I’m trying Hulu Tv before I decide. It’s just nice that there’s so much to choose from these days.

YouTube tv is very user friendly with their PAUSE/CANCEL feature.
Unlike DirecTv Stream, which is more like getting a root canal. 😄

[SFBenjaminK]

Shiiii, I WOULD NEVER cancel my YouTube TV, I having it for almost a decade since I cut the cord & works GREAT with my Chromecast TV, best of the best piss on the rest!!

[bobfoudin]

Thank you for that well explained tutorial. Love your channel.
I’m canceling because of error issues. Says “unavailable in this country”. Getting NO help from their support. A shame, I think youtube tv is the best streaming app, but what good is it if they won’t support it.

Now that College Football is ending, I plan on canceling YTTV and switching to Philo until next September. Since that is around 8 months, I will probably have to "Cancel" rather than "Pause", since 6 months is the limit. Or...can I increase the "Pause" length during the pause period?

[briangoodale]

I dropped Youtube TV because they dropped New England Sports Network & I like to watch the Bruins. I switched to FUBO because they carried NESN.

I've been a YouTube TV subscriber for slightly more than a year. Generally, it's been great. Recently, I've started to notice lip sync issues with some but not all channels. Fox Business and Fox News are noticeable while Fox weather doesn't show any sync issues; HGTV has sync issues but Food Network is generally fine; All the ESPNs seem fine. This applies to live and recorded programs.

When I watch Hulu, Disney Plus, ESPN +, Apple TV or Prime Video, everything is just fine.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the YTTV app numerous times; I've rebooted my Comcast Gigabit service a few times; I've reset the Chromecast device to factory settings. Tech support, both live and via chat, while genuinely concerned had no workable solution.

This doesn't happen on my old Vizio TV in the bedroom, only on the Samsung in the family. (The Samsung is supposedly up to date with firmware.)

I"m getting more and more tempted to upgrade from Hulu without commercials to Hulu Live TV.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Good luck trying to get a payment. My blind behind can't do all that! But thanks for the sighted people
