There are times when the app won't load when I start it up, stutters while watching a show, or momentarily loses audio.
None of these are deal-breakers by any means, but the YouTube TV app can prove to be a little finicky at times, especially on older devices like the Roku 2 in my bedroom. The app, however, is far from perfect and comes with its own sets of issues and annoyances. You'll be up and running in no time at all. Instead of waiting for a technician from the cable company to come out and install miles of wires hooked up to a cable box or device (that has rental fees), all you have to do is sign up, install the app on a compatible video-viewing device (Roku, Apple TV, XBox One etc.), and start watching. The last thing you should know is that there is no equipment or installation process with YouTube TV. Not Having Extra Equipment Is Great, But there Are Minor Annoyances With The App And just like the different DVR libraries for different users, there are custom guides tied to each profile. Being able to delete channels that I never watch or have no desire to watch has made my television viewing experience that much more streamlined. I'm talking about custom orders split up by your favorite channels, certain programming, and best of all, you can delete channels from the listing in the guide. You get used to the layout not long after you first start messing around with YouTube TV, and then you discover the ridiculous amount of customization at your fingertips. Since you are watching shows on an app on a device that doesn't come with a remote with channel buttons, you can't really flip through channels like you are used to. I grew up with a certain channel order and so going to YouTube TV, which doesn't have channel numbers, was more than a little confusing at first. I grew up on traditional television and so channel numbers are burned into my brain. There Are No Channel Numbers, But Guide Customization Is Great Despite the reasons, not being able to download programs from your DVR is annoying.
I mean, the technology is obviously there because you can download videos for offline viewing on the regular YouTube (Premium) app on your phone or tablet, so it mostly has something to do with the licensing issues from the television networks and offline viewing opposed to a decision made on YouTube's part.
YouTube TV doesn't allow you to do that, which is frustrating. There are times when you are traveling or have spotty internet (more on that later) and want to download your recorded programs so you can enjoy them without missing a beat. One thing about the DVR that might become a problem somewhere down the road is the fact that you can't download shows or movies for offline viewing. But You Can't Download Shows Or Movies From Your DVR For Offline Viewing One thing of note, however, is that recordings are only kept for nine months before they are deleted. I haven't used this aspect of the service a great deal, but someone with multiple grown children or a group of roommates with a shared account could really get some good use out of this service. YouTube TV allows you to have multiple profiles on a shared account, and the programs recorded for one user will only be with that user. Otherwise, I would have been screwed when I accidentally set my DVR to record every edition of a local news program (4 a.m., noon, 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m. Boasted as the only DVR with unlimited storage, YouTube TV provides customers with a free, cloud-based storage system that is unlimited. YouTube TV Comes With Free Unlimited DVR Storage And It's GreatĪvoiding commercial breaks could become more difficult in the near future, but until then you still have a friend in the stellar DVR capabilities found on YouTube TV.
