YouTube TV has officially launched and they are waiving the $35 monthly fee for the first month. They will also give you a free Google Chromecast after you pay your second month. The following channels are included:
You can also add showtime for $11 per month and Fox Soccer Plus for $15 per month. It also comes with six accounts that you can share with friends & family (if you do share it with 6 people, this works out to be ~$5.85 per month each). They also offer unlimited cloud storage for your DVR recordings.
It’s available in the following cities currently:
- Los Angeles
- New York
- Chicago
- Philadelphia
- San Francisco
CNET has a good article comparing this with other ‘cut the cord’ TV services. My thoughts? I love my Google Chromecast, not really that interested in live TV these days so I doubt I’d sign up but could be a good money saver for some people. I’m interested to hear what other people think of the service in the comments below.
