YTTV will be next to shutter. Just like Google Fiber. Eventually everyone will have to have 55 separate apps to watch what they want. Kappa.

For someone considering switching to YouTube tv from xfinity, but also have the landline, internet service. Would it be worth cancelling the cable portion but keep internet, phone?

Amazing how many people whine about the $65/mo cost of YTTV. It was never going to stay at $40-$50 forever, consider yourself lucky to have received a promotional rate for a few years. It's a lot more expensive than Netflix, Sling or Disney+ because it has a lot more content and more sports.

Is it for everybody? Of course not. It's it an inexpensive option for most people who want access to live TV? Absolutely.

Never knew YTTV is that expensive. How is it $50+/month when every other streaming service is $10-$15 a month?

Because it's like having actual cable, with bells and whistles like DVR, On Demand, etc. However, it's also portable and shareable among 6 profiles, which means the costs can be shared with family/friends (as long as it's in the same State).

I share with family across different states and it still works.

Downsides are there is no way to save your progress of content you've watched. For example if you've watch 60 percent of a movie or show, and you come back the next day, it won't resume from that point. You'll either have to start from the beginning or fast forward to the previous progress based on your own memory. In both cases you'll have to watch the same amount of ads to get to the previously watched point. Approximately 2 min of ads per every 10-15 min of content skipped.

Second downside is when you DVR a show, it just saves every single season that's out there in the universe. It does not save the newest episodes only. Plus you cannot mark seasons of shows or individual episodes as watched.

Seems like simple things to address for a company as big as youtube, and the demand/frustration is there throughout reddit regarding all the downsides I've mentioned for years, however youtube still hasn't addressed it.

I had to jump through a few hoops to be able to continue sharing with my family when I moved from Massachusetts to Florida, then South Carolina. For example I had to spoof my location every so often to verify that I was in the Boston area.

As for the DVR issues, I've never had any. I can start a episode/movie one day, and continue it whenever on any device that's linked to the same profile. I guess I've been lucky if there's so many complaining about those issues.

This may get me to drop AT&T TV and move over. The downside is that AT&T TV still has the original grandfathered selection of channels and HBO for $5/mo, but they're also raising the price by another $10/mo next month. That means in under 3 years it's gone from $35 (plus $5 for HBO) to $70 (plus $5 for HBO.)

Maybe. Knock on wood, I have not had a price increase yet and I am an original "Go Big" customer. Maybe this will be the time though. Smilie

Biggest weaknesses of YTTV is no 5.1 audio, a DVR that also has on demand and no regional sports channels.

I get it that some people don't feel the need for Live TV, but that doesn't make YTTV a bad value. The fact the price has gone from $40 to $65 in three years or so is kind of a bummer, but at least they have been adding channels, since I first signed up channels that are important to me that they have added are HGTV, Nick/NickJr, NFL Network, and NFL Redzone (with an additional fee), I know there are others too that are not as important to me.

The one big hole is their battle with Sinclair over Regional Sports Networks, that being said we have always had the Sinclair Regional Sports Network during baseball season, so it will be interesting to see if they work something out here in the next week.

I don't have this problem with the YTTV DVR, it saves last watched for me.

Not sure how this is a downside, other than the above mentioned problem of it not saving what's been watched (which works for me). This is an advantage of the unlimited DVR, if you like Seinfeld or The Office for example, after a few months you will have the entire series on your DVR.

Not sure what you mean about the DVR, it automatically displays on-demand content in shows I have 'Saved' in my DVR, it defaults to DVR version if you have it (which is usually better because you can skip commercials, on-demand will usually have a few commercials, though less than broadcast).

What I find silly is that Google can't figure out how to sell more advertising to pay for Regional Sports Networks or lower the cost, instead you get blank screens and 'Moments of Zen from YouTube TV' in spots for local advertising. Guess Google isn't good at selling advertising?

I thought the same thing but it's really tough to beat that package if you want sports and local channels. I looked at the Philo + Sling Orange combo and it's still nowhere near the same content.
