For multiple accounts, however, it's 22.99/month. Still probably worth it.



YouTube Music being included makes it worth it to me.

Meh… I have IPTV, pay $10 per month, have approximately 14,000 channels. About 60 college games on Saturday, full NFL Sunday ticket, all PPV EVENTS, every movie channel in existence on the planet. ALL locals.

There are over 52,000 movies on demand.

I can watch nightly news in Uzbekistan, cricket games in Sri Llanka. Current Bollywood releases.

If it’s being broadcast or streamed somewhere in the world it’s likely on IPTV. All you need is a smart TV or fire stick or similar and a subscription.

YouTube TV is what to use for football and hockey.

And tbh YouTube is all I watch outside of YouTube TV for sporting events.

YouTube Premium is a must imo.

usually small 10-15 minute videos on very specific stuff that interests me

video game discussion
fishing stuff
cooking/food
nature/animal informative stuff
history

kinda whatever im in mood for.

i just dont have the patience these days or desire to sit down for 30+ minutes to watch something more structured. Also with the way shows are designed for streaming these days, it seems like 90% of the ones i get into wind up getting canceled before they finish, which infuriates me. if i cant see something through then why should i even start it?

Should have just gotten Total Adblock and you'd have zero ads for free.

customize the split screen


The fact this exists now is amazing. The reason is they, YTTV, actually package the feed and resend it so it doesn’t bog down your IP. They have said they are close to figuring out the custom side but it still requires a fiber/500+gb download speed.

I have to agree. I’ve picked up guitar again after fricking around with it in high school. If I would’ve had the resource of YouTube at 15 that I do at 42 I feel like I would’ve been really good.

I’ve learned a ton about woodworking and other things I’m interested in as well.

frickin A.

I'll add a couple more: not being able to go back on the guide to see what was playing even 10 minutes before and not being able to change the day to search the live guide. I know the search bar is supposed to be the answer, but those options would be helpful.

Been doing the same for a number of years now. It's all I watch beside some shows on PBS and local news.

I had YouTube tv for about a year but gave it up because I never watched anything on it. Same with Netflix. Just canceled my account last month.

So what's the deal with thus? I assume it's illegal? I tried Kodi one time and it was a disaster for me at least. Is IPTV able to have a live guide and dvr etc?

I’ve watched several Pac 12 Network games on regular YouTube this season since that shite channel is so inaccessible without shelling out extra money for sports packages.

Not sure how the streams don’t get pulled like NFL ones do, but I’m not complaining lol
