YouTube TV is what’s called a “skinny bundle” in the industry — a streamlined offering of channels at a low price point.
The YouTube TV package includes live streaming broadcasts from major networks ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, plus a ton of other popular cable channels.
In May, the lineup was expanded with seven new channels.
YouTube TV also has unlimited cloud DVR capability — sure to be another big selling point. Though we should note that recorded shows will disappear after nine months.
The $35-a-month price point covers six accounts, but only three simultaneous streams can be watched at once.
Always comparison shop before you sign up!
Remember though, finding the best deal for pay TV ultimately involves a lot of comparison shopping.
Be sure to call your local cable company and ask about their skinny bundles offers. You may be able to get more of the channels you want for less than you’re paying them right now.
