Thank you for the tip. Now I really know how to use it. It's been 3 years since signing up with YouTube TV and enjoyed every min of it.

Thank you we moved out to the middle of nowhere and the internet sucks out here unless we use our hotspot. watching the tv in standard definition which will lower the amount of data we use is an option I couldn't figure out and you helped me a lot. Thank you!

[Jrizy.]

I wish you could change the “Live” UI/UX and be able to edit a lot of the options you showed within the TV.
Thank you for the video and tips!
Much appreciated 😊

Just switched to You Tube TV . Your videos were instrumental in the final decision to cut the Directv cord and cut our monthly bill 50%. We were able to get the first 3 months at a $10 discount, before the normal rate was activated. It definitely was a win - win for us.

Michael thank you for some great tips. Im looking forward to watching your others.

I just cut the cord on spectrum cable, and switched to YouTube tv 3 days ago. I can’t tell you how satisfied I am so far. The picture quality is great, and I love that I can change the video quality I want right on the screen. Side note: if you are experiencing bad picture quality; change the video setting from auto to 720p or 1080p. I am streaming on a Apple TV 4K, the 2021 edition, so it’s very easy for me to change the video quality, it’s at the bottom of the screen when you swipe down to view networks, HD, etc. There are no duplicate channels like spectrum had; and YouTube tv has all the channels I watch under one package. And I also like that I can customize my guide. On top of the free trial; I also got 3 months for $54.99; after that it will revert to the normal monthly price. All in all I am very happy with this streaming service. It is a lot cheaper than cable; but you need to have a good internet service, speed, and preferably, no data caps. Enjoy!

Thanks just got Youtube TV this morning and was struggling with how to customize the channels listed. Thanks, that saved a lot of frustration.

Great information in this video. I've not yet figured out how to shuttle past the end of a program. Sometimes I pause my program, then it ends and a new program begins on the same channel. I can't fast forward past the commercal break into the next program without playing it in real time. Has YTTV addressed this issue? Thanks for this video with a lot of helpful tips.

[joycesegers]

This was so helpful!! 🙏 Thank you so much!

[kimberlybirge]

Thanks for sharing the information. Particularly, I would like to set a sleep/watch timer for the kids.

I am new to streaming TV. (One of my most enjoyable phone calls was to DirecTV cancelling my service.) I signed up for YouTubeTV and capability seems to be almost boundless. I am loving it more each day, but am struggling to find out how to access my library recordings once I am watching live YouTubeTV. My recorded program library does not appear and I cannot find the access path unless I hit reverse reverse reverse etc. I must be missing something...help!!!

[rosiec]

I love your videos. I have a question about the ability to search YouTube concurrently with YouTubeTV. For example, when searching a movie on YouTubeTV that is not available, but is available on YouTube (for free or to rent), is there a way for the search result to show those results and would be a simple click to YouTube. Thanks

[mitchbennett]

How do I enable the YouTube microphone to be able to search by voice?

[janelled]

[barbarathompson]

Really helpful, concise info. Thanks!

[RayWorkProductions]

Thanks! I wish YouTube would add a minimized function so I can open other apps while watching

[timcronic]

Thanks! Keep up the good work we need all the help we can get

[tomlandis]

I would like to see info that includes quality audio settings that monitors whether I'm receiving 5.1 Dolby digital.

Very good video! I'm setting up YouTube TV (Fire Stick 4K) for my 91yr old mom. The live guide is a problem for her. 1) the channel IDs are too small to recognize. 2) channel IDs do not include a number to help with recognition and memory. Is there any way to enlarge the channel IDs to at least the same size as the program information? Also, an alphabetical option would greatly help her in finding a particular channel. For now I'll have to manually reorder (customize) them for her as I just learned by watching this video.
