Great video. One more change is needed for me to return to YTTV and that is......The DVR needs to change to allow for recording individual episodes rather than the all or nothing format they currently have which is ridiculous.
I watch some sports live, but record a lot. Even if when I watch live sports I often will intentionally delay it by 5-10 minutes (or longer) so I can skip the commercials. It's live to me! :)
One of the biggest changes to UA-cam TV for me is the fact that you can change to the secondary audio channel and have it stay and not have to change it every time you change channels. For people who are blind or low vision, this is critical so that we can listen to the audio description.
I really like UA-cam Tv but my goodness it has gotten so damn expensive. I was an early adopter at $35 per month. It’s has almost tripled and I really don’t get more benefits than I had when the service first started.
@@zerocal76 so you're correct when it comes to the base price it's double what I said is it has almost tripled and I guess I wasn't clear in indicating some of the add-ons like 4K and the sports package that gives me red zone. So yes, you make a good point.
All we needed was mainly local TV Channels and after UA-cam TVs price increases we finally cut their cord yesterday and use Antenna TV so we’ve cut the final cord! Should’ve done it long time ago 😮
Luke please show the Current Library screen and discuss the changes as I am brand new to UA-cam tv and my Library is vertical options on left side which is different than someone else I know. Ty love your broadcasts - very helpful
Very cool! Now, if they can make it to where audio description availability can be set to default rather than having to go into settings and selecting it each time.
When are they going to increase the volume so it’s not so much quieter than all the other streaming apps? when I go back-and-forth between live TV and another streaming app the volume level is completely different.
You forgot to talk about the ad's now you have to watch 2 5 seconds ad's. If you are there, you can skip after 5 seconds each, and then more adds during whatever you are watching.
I just wish they would fix the dropped frames. Doesn’t happen on any other streaming service. I’ve reloaded YTTV multiple times and it’s consistent from the built in google interface or running off Apple TV box. It is worst on my new Hisense U8K.
I LOVE multi-view. I watch the game I'm most interested in until they break for a commercial. Then I switch to multi-view so I can keep an eye on my main channel and check in on three other games. As soon as my main game comes out of the break I switch back to full screen.
Luke...I have noticed the CW doesn't seem to allow their college basketball games to appear in multi view format. I have also noticed during multi view the sound format changes. If I am watching a basketball game in multi view and go back to the guide; the sound volume will nearly scare you out of the room.
Since football season is upon us, if I hit decreased on the permanent broadcast delay, will I be hearing the current broadcast of a football game without being behind from cable broadcast version?
Hello, my problem is as of this week I can not get (you tube) to work on my TV. I scan, and manually type and do all it ask me to do to no avail. Can you help me? Ty Marian
Not happy with UA-cam TV! We switched our payment and it cut our TV off...even though we had paid our subscription for the month...we went on their customer service line to get help and they said, "we are sorry, you have to wait 24 to 48 hours before we can verify your new payment". My question is, "What happened to the viewing that I'm paying for right now?????" What a racket.
We are thinking about changing over to UA-cam T.V. Maybe someone can help me with these questions. Do I have to get another streaming service to go along with UA-cam T.V to be able to use a remote? If not, how do you change channels on UA-cam T.V if there is no equipment to buy?
We are probably switching to YTTV next month and I just bought a Roku to use with it. We don't have smart tvs so I bought a Roku. Very easy to use. We paid $30 for each of our Roku devices.
Here's the problem I want to see the Houston game and I want to see the Kansas State game in multiview at once. Today there's no option for it. You can build a multiview for the Kansas State game but only between certain matchups not including Houston versus Texas. You go to the Houston versus Texas game which started an hour later than the Kansas State game and they only have one multi-view listed. Fact when it said build a multiview it said some options not available on the list. I just wanted those two games so now I'm going back and forth between them.
Luke, The accessibility of captions on Pluto TV is particularly crucial. While captions are available on all channels, captions for all local CBS news broadcasts fail to activate for me. This is quite exasperating. Could you kindly assist me in comprehending the reason behind this malfunction? Have you encountered this issue yourself?
Near the beginning of the video when you spoke about a higher bit rate 1080P stream, you seemed to directly imply that they were also increasing the frame rate. Is that true? Is it upscaling of the frame rate?
You know what this happens on quite a few channels with the volume being too high and unfortunately I don't think that there's any way to fix this. As far as the picture quality goes it's even more terrible. UA-cam TV and the picture quality continues to get even more worse everyday. UA-cam TV claims that they are bringing back enhanced picture quality like in 1080p but it won't make any difference.
@fredreed2001 Yeah I can't tell the difference in quality between what they say is 720 and 1080. Fortunately I'm a big physical media person so a lot of movies I have on HD disc.
Question for Luke, how many seconds of a show or movie can you show before UA-cam complained about copyright issues? You said they are aggressive. Just curious.
I upgraded to the 4K service for the Super Bowl. Picture quality was enhanced but audio was awful! I had to turn the volume way up and when I switched to either the Nickelodeon channel or the golf tournament, I almost busted an eardrum! Why was this happening?
I wished there was a way to watch multiview news programs with the channels wanted. I want to remove Fox News and replace it with News Nation. Hopefully that will be an option soon.
Why has UA-cam made the comments harder to navigate by placing them to the right and narrowing them, so you can see fewer at a time and must go far down the page to see them?
I left UA-cam TV after the NFL season because the buffering and pictures quality were so bad and I hate their Guide. It’s too hard for go forward to find something later in the week and then set it up for recording.
I don't care how "new and improved" they are. They got rid of MLB Network just prior to the 2023 baseball season, then dumped SNY in the middle of the season on July 1! I canceled immediately and have been much happier with Hulu plus Live TV
They screwed up the resume watching. It has become extremely limited in the shows you were watching and the resume feature doesn't work, you have to ff from start to get back to where you left off. Very annoying when its a long block of time as in golf.
So what’s your point? This is not enough to bring me back. They still don’t have MLB Network or Bally Sports. They add channels that are trash and raise prices.
Maybe the closet thing right now is a Google TV device that lets you change channels using your voice. For example you can ask for ESPN and it will jump to ESPN.
I've always found multi-view kind of annoying as it distracts your concentration on a single event. But the leaps-forward in tech that these new YT features represent, and probably similar with other stream channels in the near future, makes me think the ATSC 3.0 television OTA broadcasting standard is all but dead. No need for it if streaming channels can add these types of features and keep the costs down (if not make them free with some ads).
You need to have a phone number so that people can get a hold of you when they’re having a problem trying to change payments and doing things like that for your UA-cam and you can’t get a hold of anybody hello
There is no way streaming services cost less than Cable. If i subscribe to the services that show what i want to see it would cost more and for one, i like to see all Laker basketball games and can't do that with a streaming service.
The price of groceries makes UA-cam TV at over $73 a month pretty far fetched for the average person in this country today. I guess you have unlimited funds. i am so glad you can enjoy Utube TV. We all thought that cord cutting would be a good idea to simply stream things over the Internet. Well, after several years of doing that, streaming is just as expensive as cable tv is. So cord cutting has became a myth with its idea to save money and to be able to choose what you want to watch without all of the other crap channels, you don't care about.
Good info. Question, is there any chance YTTV will be adding regional sports networks? We are in the south and love our Atlanta Braves on Bally Sports South. Would be great to get them on You Tube TV.
UA-cam's monthly cost is far too expensive for me and my wife’s wallet! Also, still owned by the very evil empire that is Google. My wife and I will just keep watching free UA-cam with ads. Most ads we can still skip through and if YT puts up a long ad, you can leave and start the video up, again, as many times as necessary, from your history, until you get a short ad or an ad that can be skipped in 5 seconds. Google is asking too much money for their “TV”/streaming service. Sorry, not biting. NOT going to ever monthly subscribe to YTTV, Evuuuur!
I have had it for approx 18 months. Its nothing special in reallity. The user guide is not good or user friendly I find. Channels not numbered and difficult to read with the small fonts. You can record shows etc, but if you want to delete older ones not sure how to do it. Costs continue to raise but the channels offered ade again nothing special. Many are fillers. If you search for free mo ies, it also includes the pay per view peppered in. My experience is - its very average and no way to talk to an actual person. My experience, your milage may vary.

So glad I cut the cord on cable it's been 4yrs🥂😎
When are they going to fix the guide so I can jump to a specific date and on the app can scroll and move ahead not just see a two hour window.
Great video. One more change is needed for me to return to YTTV and that is......The DVR needs to change to allow for recording individual episodes rather than the all or nothing format they currently have which is ridiculous.
Agree - Makes no sense that they can't set it so it works like any other DVR set up on Dish or Hulu
Man, I just sent them feedback on the same issue.@@travelwithdands
Thank you for covering these improvements, Luke - very helpful for a casual viewer like me.
They also need to add History /AE channel and Me tv
If I’m not mistaken they did
I watch some sports live, but record a lot. Even if when I watch live sports I often will intentionally delay it by 5-10 minutes (or longer) so I can skip the commercials. It's live to me! :)
What would make YTTV even better for me is if they offered a cheaper package without sports. Really wish this was an option.
Same. I really just want local news on demand.
I don't watch sports, don't need the sports channels, and would like to save money or have more quality channels.
@@larrylarsen5452 Amen, brother.
I recommend either Hulu with Live TV or Philo if YTTV isn’t your personal favorite.

PS: happy with UA-cam TV with Roku.
Is there any way to record only new episodes? I’m getting to the point of switching to hulu live.
Can not DVR a program to start recording 1-2 minutes before scheduled. Many stations give their lead stories early.
Thanks for the updates!
Very cool! Thanks for the explainer on how to actually use the multi-view feature.
Very cool! Now, if they can make it to where audio description availability can be set to default rather than having to go into settings and selecting it each time.
Is there away to stop the volume big change from UA-cam to ads
When are they going to increase the volume so it’s not so much quieter than all the other streaming apps? when I go back-and-forth between live TV and another streaming app the volume level is completely different.
Lots of new stuff. Wow!
The DVR drove me crazy. That’s why I cancelled. Finding an episode was like finding a needle in a haystack.
You’ve got the question of the day again take three and four
You forgot to talk about the ad's now you have to watch 2 5 seconds ad's. If you are there, you can skip after 5 seconds each, and then more adds during whatever you are watching.
who needs tv when i could live in this comment section? good work community, you didnt disappoint.
Great and informative information! Thank you!
Yep. When they have a better line up I’ll jump. Until then I’m loving DIRECTV streams lineup.
Yes we need A& E, History, and Life time on You Tube TV so that I don't have to use Philo for $25 bucks a month.
DIRECTV stream is too expensive
@@dustinbergeron7508 Base package costs $2 more per month than UA-cam TV and it has channels like A&E and History which aren't on YT.
@@dustinbergeron7508 And pretty much useless. Sure it might save you a few hours of trouble with setting up your equipment but that doesnt excuse it
Cut UA-cam Tv a few months ago and got old fashioned antenna. Not missing it one bit
That's great, but what if you live outside the broadcast area? Where the antennas are out of range? SOL..
Once they got rid of MLB and SNY, I canceled. If they get those channels back, I would subscribe along with many others.
It's still better than cable. My cable bill was $303 a month after a year, I cut that off. $75 is a smarter decision for me.
303 a month?? Where do you live?? where I live 100 a month is the maximum

I'm always hearing good things about UA-cam TV, but I wish they would lower their price. $65 to $70 for basic is same as Spectrum cable. 🙏
Yeah but cable tacks on $20 plus extra of fees
Hello, my problem is as of this week I can not get (you tube) to work on my TV. I scan, and manually type and do all it ask me to do to no avail. Can you help me? Ty Marian
How do you build your own multiview ?
FYI I could use the previous channel option on my remote and switch channels already before this feature..
and how much more bandwidth-data does this 1080 upscale use?
Question for Luke
Why are so many streaming services charging extra for 4K streams ?
Not happy with UA-cam TV!

No MLB Network, no deal for me.

Is TCM available on You Tube TV?
Yes
I used to love UA-cam TV until the price went up to 55 now it’s 62 no way not paying it
Cool. DTV wants your subscription at ~$150/ mo
Not perfect until they get A&E networks' but good. (Just my opinion)
Caitlin Clark!

I wished there was a way to watch multiview news programs with the channels wanted. I want to remove Fox News and replace it with News Nation. Hopefully that will be an option soon.
Fox is the best. They have been proved right about almost everything since 2016. The others have been wrong but you watch what you want.
Why has UA-cam made the comments harder to navigate by placing them to the right and narrowing them, so you can see fewer at a time and must go far down the page to see them?
I left UA-cam TV after the NFL season because the buffering and pictures quality were so bad and I hate their Guide. It’s too hard for go forward to find something later in the week and then set it up for recording.
New feature..jump back feature?? How do you pause?? It seems the new feature cancels pause...
single brief tap the ok button for pause still. Longer press for jump back feature.
Question for Luke:- Will UA-cam tv be available for viewers internationally for viewers in the UK?
Make sure to watch tomorrow's video. I will answer your question at the end.
Couldn’t you you a VPN to get it outside the US?
Does these recent upgrades explain why UA-cam TV making me cut off my VPN?
Can you tell me exactly what's happening? Did you get a warning? Would love to look into this.
@@CordCuttersNews UA-camtv would not let me go to any channels until I cut my vpn off. Once I did that, everything was fine.

Wish the price was more reasonable. I had to cancel this due to that!
