YouTube TV now covers half of the United States (CNET News)

Google says its online television service is available in 14 more markets, and it plans to expand to another 17 in the future.

Since Cnet neglected to include a link to the comparison chart, I dug it up for you:

Great news to hear! I really want YouTube TV to succeed, but they still need MORE channels. Let's hope more Programs jump on board.

I liked that they let you try it for a month for free so I signed up when it came to the DC area however it wasn’t good enough for me to leave PS Vue. Even though the channel selection is decent if you’re a sports fan like me YouTube just doesn’t offer much. Also, you cannot fast forward on their DVR. Now that Vue has CBS in my area I really don’t see a reason to switch unless YouTube adds more sports networks and allows you to fast forward on the DVR.

Let me get this right. To watch your little 1:34 vid, I have to watch a 30 second commercial on women's Not watching any more of your vids if that's the case.

Sling TV is cheaper and better than YouTube tv

Still waiting (with my money ready to hand over) to the service that can legally offer me all free to air US and UK TV channels, plus netflix, hulu, amazon video, current cinema movies on demand, all past movies and old TV on demand, and an ala carte menu of premium channels (e.g. UK Sky Sports F1, and US HBO) with an unlimited cloud DVR and the freedom to watch from anywhere in the world.

Stop location and country locking us. My life has been lived across multiple countries and I feel a connection to all of them and would like the freedom to pick and choose which channels I want from each. Currently the only option is an illegal box. Catch up TV cunts and you'll stop getting screwed. Reminds me of the Napster days. None of the music labels would sell you an MP3 of a song so the only options was to illegally download. Is it any surprise people do it?

Nice to see the IPTV business really heating up. Right now PlayStation Vue, Direct TV Now, and YouTube TV are my top three, with PS Vue edging the others out by a bit.

Hope we see stuff like Netflix, WWE Network, MLB.TV, Crackle, and more join these services eventually. The ulitmate goal, should be a single portal to all of our premium video content.
