User Reviews for YouTube TV

Terrible picture quality

When I open a new channel, it defaults to auto picture quality. And for some reason this means that it is a total blur for 30 seconds until either it figures out that it can do better, or I manually change the quality. It should have a setting for a preferred picture quality to start watching with.Also, it takes about seven button clicks to change a channel. It is virtually impossible to be watching one game while clicking over occasionally to see what is happening in another game on another channel. Changing channels should be one of the easiest things in the world for a TV replacement, but on this it takes exiting full screen, then minimizing the picture you are watching, then finding the other channel in the guide, then loading it up, then changing the picture quality so it is watchable. It's absurdly hard for a simple task.

5 stars

It’s honestly the best tv product I have purchased, I’ve been a member for about a yr. However, there are a few things I would love to see added: 1. When browsing through all the movies / series, you can not tell which movies or series you have already added to your library. After selecting the title, it will than show you have already added this to your library, rather than scrolling and selecting only what you need. 2. When you view what is being recorded or upcoming, it appears to be recording new episodes AND episodes I have already saved under my library. I wasn’t sure if this was a glitch, but it prevents a member from seeing what would be new and upcoming, rather than something that is already saved. Plus it only allows you to see 50, half of which you have already recorded and saved to your library.

Crashes too much!

I believe I was one of the first subscribers in my area. The app worked flawlessly, but not anymore. When watching recordings, the program regularly stops after 40 minutes regardless of program watched. The program then starts from the beginning. I have to restart my phone to continue watching from the interrupted part. Now when watching a show that is recording and if I don’t catch it from the beginning and ask the app to display it from the beginning, the show repeatedly starts over from the beginning on its own while I’m watching. It is extremely frustrating! My price is scheduled to increase to add more channels I don’t care to watch while the channels I inquired about having added haven’t been added and there is no communication about if they will be added. It seems like soon after I recommended the service and app, the reliability tanked. I’m not going to pay more for worse and not getting what I want. I use an iphone 8S plus with the most updated ios.

Needs tuning

Tried it out and liked it. Wasn’t sure how it would be going from a satellite tv system to You Tube but I don’t notice any big differences except a lower monthly bill and not having to call constantly with problems. Not real happy with the volume blowing me out of the room when commercials come on. Wish they would fix that. I like watching some of the VODs but have noticed that when a commercial comes on it frequently goes in the streaming circle mode and won’t resume my program. Can’t wait for some other channels to get on board, we’ll see. Overall happy with my choice to switch over to You Tube TV😃Still waiting for more channels. Not a lot more just a few more. Really I don’t know how much longer I can take the high jump in volume when the ads come on. I get it, you want me to know there is an ad on. Ugh😫

wont let you save the shows you watch

i saved all my shows but this service doesn't just record the new episodes, it records all of them from every channel!! whatever channels the show is on it ALL records. theres room for it but then its using up bandwidth constantly & always running. they need to make a way to save your favorites without recording them all, i have seen others reviews where ppl say this crashes well if you are using tons of data like that you will have problems. make it so we can save favorite shows without recording. also i notice many channel like Hallmark & game show network & others are missing? if they raise it at all i will just have to go back ti sling tv. Also it’s quite a bit more pricey than some other services. We enjoy it so far.

Used to be great, now freezing a lot

I don’t understand why this keeps happening on my iPad, but this app always worked great until a few months (and a few updates) ago when the video would start freezing but the sound keeps going. Then sometimes everything freezes with the buffering spinner going, or often the show will skip around and it will take you back 20 minutes or so in the show ... sometimes just the picture and the sound is up to date, sometimes both the sound and the picture skip backward. I have very fast internet and sometimes I try to make sure it’s not my WiFi so I switch to Verizon ... doesn’t fix the issue. The only way to get it back to normal is to close the app and reopen it. But it will inevitably happen again. I have only noticed it during live programming, and it only happens when watching one show for while, maybe 5 to 10 minutes or more without changing the show/channel. I am not having this issue on my Apple TV, my desktop iMac using Chrome or Safari, and I haven’t noticed it on my iPhone either, but I don’t use that to watch TV as much as the other devices. Please fix it, because I love the service and the freedom I get by being able to have my iPad be my portable TV all over the house as I am getting things done around the house, sitting on the back porch, etc. I did try to hard restart my iPad as well, that hasn’t helped the problem at all. PLEASE FIX THIS! IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!

Love it and won’t look back.

I have had YouTubeTV now for about 5 months and wish I would have made the change a long time ago. So happy to cut the cable and the outrageous monthly cost. I read some of these bad reviews and I don’t understand why people are having issues. I went out and purchased a few Roku’s for my tv’s and had them set up in less than 10 minutes. Now if I want to watch on my TV I just turn it on with my Roku remote and then click YouTubeTV and it connects right away and I don’t have to stream from my phone. I have found that most times I just lay in bed and watch my shows either live or from my library on my phone or IPad. I have yet to have any issues at all. I also love being able to be out and about and not miss any baseball or football games. Highly recommend this. Keep up the good work YouTubeTV.

PROS: you get your local channels, the staple channels such as ABC CBS NBC FOX etc. and a variety of sports channels. CONS: we have experienced CONSTANT problems despite the fact that we have high speed internet such as not being able to change channels because it will change on the phone but not on the TV and then no longer pulls up the TV to cast to so we are left to uninstall & reinstall the app EVERY time and programs not playing just to name a couple. Also not a very wide variety of channels to choose from. While you have options to choose from for sports, there's a deficiency to offer popular alternatives like possibly HGTV, GSN, Lifetime, Hallmark or any type of cooking channels. So when comparing pricing and channels offered with dish networks, it's really not worth the trouble to pay the same or comparable for less channels and less conveniences so I'm glad a free trial was offered to know what the service would be like before buying, although I've heard canceling is just as difficult.

Is this for real? More commercial time than actual show!

Am I missing somewhere here? 16-20 minutes of commercials PER BREAK! I am VERY glad I got a free trial because this is the worst streaming live TV app!! The selection is great & all of that but I just went to watch my first on demand show, after a few minutes the first commercial break started & I notice there is a counter in the top right hand corner saying there are 7 commercials ahead …. 7 in one break, the commercials are each 2-3 minutes each & there are 3 breaks per half hour show. Are you kidding me?!?! There is more commercial airtime than the actual show!! If each one is 2 minutes & 7 ads per break is 14 minutes of commercials, that happens 3 times during 1 show, that’s 42 minutes of commercials for a 26 minutes show ….. I can’t believe this app is still running & people are paying $70 a month to watch minutes of commercials in a 26 minute show, it’s absolutely ridiculous. Canceled it immediately

Mixed feelings

On the one hand, I could not be happier no longer being a customer of Cox or AT&T. On the other hand, the developers of this app don’t seem to care about feedback. I have probably sent feedback over a dozen times about the broken state of their recommendations. Whether you like it or not, your recommendations will be FULL of sports. If you select the “Don’t show me this” option, it doesn’t care, it will still show you that same game as a recommendation. There is no way to get away from sports in this app. They assume that everyone is a super sports fan that wants nothing in their life but constant sports games and scores. I am not one of those people. I couldn’t care less about sports broadcasts. I find it ridiculous that the “Top picks for you” is nothing is sports when I never watch any sports, ever.Maybe the feedback in the app is as broken as the recommendations, so I’ll ask here. Please, please, please give us a way to block certain channels from showing up in recommendations. Even better would be to make a cheaper plan that doesn’t include all the sports channels. I feel like I’m paying more than I should just because the people behind YouTubeTV can’t fathom a world where anyone would not want non-stop sports, all day every day.
