Joe - please consider reviewing this again (a year and a half later), to let us know if they've made any improvements to the service. I was hoping I could use TIVO with this. I think I'd miss being able to fast forward, pause and roll back through shows easily (without having to wait for buffering).
hardly "all the big channels" there is NO Scripps Networks (HGTV, DIY Network and others) or Discovery (Discovery, Velocity, Animal Planet and others), No A&E networks (History, A&E, and others), NO Viacom (Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, BET, Nickelodeon and others) honestly the only thing worse then how limited the availability is is the piss poor channel lineup.
So Amazon Prime, Netflix, VRV, Hulu pretty much all replaces cable subscriptions; however, I was curious about UA-cam TV and saw this neat review, and said, “Like UA-cam Red: not worth the money”
I don't like the fact that they show you the final score of recorded sporting events, taking ALL of the excitement out of watching them. It's like telling you how a movie ends BEFORE you watch it, major spoiler. Also, app is not compatible with my Samsung Table A 10.1 or my Mirada.
Thanks, Joe. This is EXACTLY the review I've been waiting for. One of the things I like best about your channel, is the amount of depth in your reviews. Specifically, I had questions about the relationship between UA-cam Red and UA-cam TV, and whether my Red subscription would free me from having to watch ads if I subscribed to the TV product. And, you nailed it. Thanks again, and keep up the great work!
Not enough channels, DVR that forces you to watch an Ad, UA-cam Red not included - all for only $35. I can't wait until these companies stop sitting on their hands and make TV that is on demand and ad-free.
UA-cam TV $35 a Month ($40 a Month if you are with iTunes.) Showtime is $11 a Month and Fox Soccer Plus is $15 a Month all with the added tax! In RI $65.27 ($70.62 with iTunes) With NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox all say On-Demand Only!
Great review. The biggest beef I have with it us when you're watching a recorded program and you want to fast forward through ads or to another part of the program there is no visual seek like on UA-cam videos
The problem with recording live TV, is TV is in segments, not shows. Segments are like on the hour, or every half an hour. If a special episode airs for 45 minutes in the morning, then all the other shows are offset by 15 min, your recordings won't match up till they reset the schedule. It's one of the main reasons why I don't record TV automatically and either do it manually, or just wait till the series is on Netflix
No Joe I don't watch any live network TV. We have Netflix, Hulu and I am a Prime member. It works for us. I have easily cut my Cable bill in half. Of course we still have to pay for 100mb internet .
They made the service available in Atlanta last week. They are growing fast and adding channels. Currently, I could get 48 channels. However, it only works with a ChromeCast device and you need a smart phone to act as your remote. They say they're working hard to make the service available for other platforms. When they include Fire TV, I'll sign up.
$65 a month for woke programming and not only that the price has doubled in 3 years, lmfao. I cut the cable cord 8 years ago and haven't once looked back. Cable companies were/are a scummy business model and it's not surprising that Utube has adopted it.
I tried youtube tv and found the bitrate sucked. After watching Netflix and Amazon which come through in extremely high quality, the youtube picture quality sucked. Sports are unwatchable. Any motion is blurred. I have 300 mbps fiber and gigabit router with cat6 Ethernet cable so speed was not an issue. Video quality was awful
UA-cam Tv has a free promo for a free weekly service, you can cancel right after you sign up, and still get all 7 days for free. So far I actually really like and it runs very smoothly. The only downfall I have experienced, is like you mentioned: Not being able to look at whats playing on certain channels in the future, outside of an hour or two ahead.
We have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime and PBS. If I want to watch something live, like a Presidential speech or something, someone is carrying it live on UA-cam. We have regular TV but never watch it because we're in a dead zone, and we don't watch enough TV to need cable. For our needs, there is more than enough content on our subscriptions. Maybe I would be more inclined to get this if it had its own exclusive programs like our subscriptions have. I don't think this is something for us. Thank you for the informative review.
I'm seriously interested, but the one question not answered- How difficult to change channels ?? If it's streaming, do you have to wait 10-15 seconds to reload like Amazon Prime ??
hey bro.... If you just click on the symbol of the channel in the live tab you can see all the upcoming programs....be thorough before making strong criticisms... It's been there since the day they released the app
For $35 each month you get more with streaming DirectTV Now and it works with Roku, Amazon fire stick or Apple TV. Plus it can be watched on a TV, computer, tablet or smartphone.
Hey man. Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your videos! Your reviews are top notch, and you have an awesome sense of humor to boot! Cheers brother! :-)
Thanks for the insight with this. I really liked how you showed the interface and add on package options. Great high quality videos as always, keep up the good work!
I signed up for the UA-cam TV in the Philadelphia area about 3 weeks ago when it was available. two months ago I got rid of cable in my house and there are few things that I miss and I can get some of them with the UA-cam TV. My only gripe with UA-cam TV is that one-third of the stations are sports-related. the so that only gives me 20 some channels. But overall I have been really pleased with the way that it operates and the way I can DVR some of my shows and watch them at my convenience.
ThioJoe, did you check how many simultaneous streams you can have on UA-cam TV? One of the gotchas with these live tv services is that they only give you 1 or 2 streams at a time.
Yes, what is up with the no, "coming up next" feature? That makes no sense at all for an attempt to mini rival cable. Maybe they outsourced this part to a government agency, where we know nothing has to make sense.
I use an antenna and I keep zap2it on my phone to use for a TV guide. Just go to the site and enter your zip or postal code for your local listings. I just pin the web page to my screen. I don't have a machine set up right now but I've been doing home theatre TV for about 15 years. They have actually been changing the start times of the shows for a long time and we always had to adjust our software. The cable companies probably do this automatically on their DVRs. I haven't had cable for years. And, now that we're digital you all know that you can get your locals in free, uncompressed HD, right? A good option if you are short on cash.
RedHunt kodi is great for movies and such, and occasionally works good for live stream, but for the most part for regular live tv it's very inconsistent and inconvenient. (speaking having relied on it for 2 years now)
Comcast Pre-paid TV is coming soon!! It's only $20. And it offers my local channel's plus a decent line up. All I need since I have Android Box for movies & shows.
I wish there was a way to pick and choose your shows. Like, for me, I just want my Cartoon Network, Disney XD, and Adult Swim and I'm good to go for TV, I don't need 100000+ sports channels.
I see sooo many negative comments here. I have tried other streamers and this is by FAR the best live TV streamer in my opinion. Even better than Sling. This app just blows my mind. It has all the MLB games and other sports, movies that you can save on your library (with commercials. It's like a DVR) tons of kids channels all in HD and live shows that you can watch on 4 devices for just $35 a month. Nothing can beat that. I guess if you are into lots of sitcoms and shows episodes, Hulu would be better. But I don't care for those . I just hope they don't get greedy and start bringing the price up. Cable ans Satellite TV are on the verge of extinction.
We thought it is quiet expensive for APAC student customer , but affordable if you are Commercial service likes pub/bar or FINE dining restaurant for five star hotel or Michelin three star French/italian style restaurant
Its going to give people who live in NEW ENGLAND a chance to watch NESN which airs the Redsox, Bruins and other sports teams. NESN is only a part of the very much more expensive packages with cable providers. Thanks to you tube for coming up with a lower cost option for us. :)
I tried UA-cam TV for two months. I don't say it sucks. The DVR function works good and the picture looks great but I did cancel my membership because there wasn't enough good content. If you like sports there are allot of channels but the rest of the stuff wasn't enough to be of any value to me at $38/month. Also they promised me a Chrome cast after the first payment and as of writing this I still have not received it. thats been over two months. Also when I sent an email asking for status of the chromecast it stated I would get an answer within two business days.. that has long past as well. So if they had more content on the basic service, Kept their promises of the chromecast and follow up on their emails as they clearly state I would have not dropped the service. so Better content, better service and lower price would be all it would have taken to keep me.. Then again it is Google.
This doesn’t seem bad Especially for the price but don’t like not having the guide.I just cut the cord and went with the PlayStation Vue.So far it’s working out pretty well for me.
A TV guide is old school. Most people know when their favorite show is on. Why do I need to see what's on 3 hours ahead?? And with all the search and DVR features, UA-cam TV is not trying to be cable. When I'm in the rare mood to sit down and actually watch Live TV, I only care about what's on right now.
I am an over the road truck driver. I travel through 4-7 states a day. Is this a product that would suit my needs for times when I'm waiting for cargo? Obviously I'm not going to be in the area that I purchased it in.
I agree with your assessment on youtubeTV...one thing to mention is the number of channels (47 in ny market) is focused on sports and lacks other entertaining channels like hgtv, food network, tbs, tnt as well as a few other local market channels like CW and PBS. Also, other competitors offer more channels (utube is 47 vs HuluTV is 64 for $5 more) so it depends what you really want so do the ho mework and give the free trials a chance before to pick...you can always cancel anytime and switch which I like it to give some competition to earn my business! :))
I have a question: if youtube TV doesn't show a guide how can you record a show, envent, movie etc that will be transmitted in the future? for example I want to record a sport game that will be broadcast live the next day how can I schedule it to be recorded? is this possible without a guide? this for me is a deal-breaker
all you need is Kodi and use a build like titanium and Bam you get all the streaming channels you could want and it's not illegal to stream. you can even find any movie you could ever want to watch. so I don't pay for tv anymore
How is a cable company with half a dozen competitors a monopoly? 1. Direct TV 2. Dish Network 3. UA-cam TV 4. Amazon Prime 5. Hulu 6. Sling 7.

Does the monthly charge come out of your payment method automatcly every month or do they sent u a bill every month then u haft to sent them what ever amount u are signed up for
I rather watch UA-cam Tv because I'm not a huge fan of Netflix Originals. Netflix won't even tell you how many views something got and not to mention it's lost 2000 movies.
You even give your money to a monopolized telecom company bro?
ThioJoe do you?
ThioJoe no I prefer monopolised internet company
please stop making the videos just about 10+ minutes and I'll disable my adblock for you - thanks!
*oligopolistic
It's not a monopoly, it's a oligopoly.
ThioJoe
I think so
And if you have some input lag while using ytube tv review , you should double your RAM or unlock some cpu cores ...
yes, that is an important step
Nikolay Hristov Download more ram
Not everyone knows computer talk

I haven't paid for tv in 25years I ain't starting now ! 🐓
Then tv should be FREE YES YES YES ONLY FOR I DONT WANT TO SAY YES TO MINATI NO MINati
Joe - please consider reviewing this again (a year and a half later), to let us know if they've made any improvements to the service. I was hoping I could use TIVO with this. I think I'd miss being able to fast forward, pause and roll back through shows easily (without having to wait for buffering).
hardly "all the big channels" there is NO Scripps Networks (HGTV, DIY Network and others) or Discovery (Discovery, Velocity, Animal Planet and others), No A&E networks (History, A&E, and others), NO Viacom (Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, BET, Nickelodeon and others) honestly the only thing worse then how limited the availability is is the piss poor channel lineup.
Exactly no good channels line up smh
So Amazon Prime, Netflix, VRV, Hulu pretty much all replaces cable subscriptions; however, I was curious about UA-cam TV and saw this neat review, and said, “Like UA-cam Red: not worth the money”
70 bucks a month should get you way more .
I don't like the fact that they show you the final score of recorded sporting events, taking ALL of the excitement out of watching them. It's like telling you how a movie ends BEFORE you watch it, major spoiler. Also, app is not compatible with my Samsung Table A 10.1 or my Mirada.
David Muhs You're kidding! That's really pathetic.
hate sport spoilers
Thanks, Joe. This is EXACTLY the review I've been waiting for. One of the things I like best about your channel, is the amount of depth in your reviews.

as long as UA-cam can't keep the advertisers on the site.....I don't expect too much......
TBH the only tv I care about is sports.... for entertaining shows regular youtube does it for me
really like these type of videos they grab your attention "does it suck" and then its a review proving that it either does or doesn't
$65 a month for woke programming and not only that the price has doubled in 3 years, lmfao. I cut the cable cord 8 years ago and haven't once looked back. Cable companies were/are a scummy business model and it's not surprising that Utube has adopted it.
Is this valid in India?
Is this valid in your mother?
Trailers, Clips, and More! stfu
YOU STFU!
You stfu.
Oh no! I just created a "stfu" tail... lmao
I tried youtube tv and found the bitrate sucked. After watching Netflix and Amazon which come through in extremely high quality, the youtube picture quality sucked. Sports are unwatchable. Any motion is blurred.
I have 300 mbps fiber and gigabit router with cat6 Ethernet cable so speed was not an issue. Video quality was awful
I just got a smart TV and have Xfinity internet. All my MLB games come out crystal clear in HD on You Tube TV. You must have a problem.
the UA-cam Red is my favorite, glad you addressed the ad issues on UA-cam TV
UA-cam Tv has a free promo for a free weekly service, you can cancel right after you sign up, and still get all 7 days for free. So far I actually really like and it runs very smoothly. The only downfall I have experienced, is like you mentioned: Not being able to look at whats playing on certain channels in the future, outside of an hour or two ahead.
UA-cam TV is going make buying DVDS popular again
Sorry, I can't follow what you mean???
We have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime and PBS. If I want to watch something live, like a Presidential speech or something, someone is carrying it live on UA-cam. We have regular TV but never watch it because we're in a dead zone, and we don't watch enough TV to need cable. For our needs, there is more than enough content on our subscriptions. Maybe I would be more inclined to get this if it had its own exclusive programs like our subscriptions have. I don't think this is something for us. Thank you for the informative review.
Great videos man love the detail! I think UA-cam TV will be great, it's just going to take some time. excited for what they will do in the future!
Nice in depth look into the service. Hoping to try it out for myself soon.
Lol $30 a month. I wish it's like 75 a month now
awesome review thio, love these rant style videos
I'm seriously interested, but the one question not answered- How difficult to change channels ?? If it's streaming, do you have to wait 10-15 seconds to reload like Amazon Prime ??
I rarely watch TV, the internet takes up all my time, and I can watch whatever I want online.
hey bro.... If you just click on the symbol of the channel in the live tab you can see all the upcoming programs....be thorough before making strong criticisms... It's been there since the day they released the app

Had they have added a UA-cam Red subscription without UA-cam TV, it would been a perfect deal. Ad-free UA-cam, Live TV, AND google play music in one.
I'm on DSL, 6mbs/768kbs. I literally can't wait. So excited!
I'm on VDSL2, 37/2mbps
Yes, what is up with the no, "coming up next" feature? That makes no sense at all for an attempt to mini rival cable. Maybe they outsourced this part to a government agency, where we know nothing has to make sense.
I don't watch TV anyway lol
So why the hell did you watch this video? LOL
@@myafaire1682 He just wanted to troll
5 out of 5 stars review, answered all my questions.
Really thorough. Great video!
So you can just use a VPN to sign up and then use it wherever you want lol
Thanks for making the video, I was really wondering if getting youtube tv was worth it, and frankly, what it even was, keep up the good work.
Thanks. You answered all of my questions about this.
ppl still watch tv?
Unfortunately, yes.
Why not? Where else are you supposed to watch shows? lol
Imagine that! lol
Yeah I still watch TV I can't really vibe with Netflix that much
Fire stick, Netflix and now you tube TV killed cable.
I use an antenna and I keep zap2it on my phone to use for a TV guide. Just go to the site and enter your zip or postal code for your local listings. I just pin the web page to my screen.

will stick to kodi
can't get it to work.
RedHunt kodi is great for movies and such, and occasionally works good for live stream, but for the most part for regular live tv it's very inconsistent and inconvenient. (speaking having relied on it for 2 years now)
Do Something same..
If someone made a UA-cam TV add-on.
Laughing.
RedHunt or PLEX
stream2watch.co
Do you record or do we have to record it? Do we need a recorder?
Comcast Pre-paid TV is coming soon!! It's only $20. And it offers my local channel's plus a decent line up. All I need since I have Android Box for movies & shows.
I wonder when these types of services will be available in Rural America ...?
joe what camera are you using? or video cam
Does it come with a physical T.V or is it online? Did you purposely go to one of the cities to sign up?
Sees he can save 5$ by doing it on a computer **Buys a laptop**
Or Chrome
Why don't they just let everyone access everyone elses DVR from the same region. It occupy way less space while giving more on demand access
I wish there was a way to pick and choose your shows. Like, for me, I just want my Cartoon Network, Disney XD, and Adult Swim and I'm good to go for TV, I don't need 100000+ sports channels.
Great review! 👍 UA-cam TV seems pretty cool after watching this.
ThioJoe. Thanks for The YTTV info. What is the Live Tech support number for YTTV and how do I see YTTV on all my TV's, Computers in my house?
Just clarifying HBO is not included right?
Do this also apply too local channels
I see sooo many negative comments here. I have tried other streamers and this is by FAR the best live TV streamer in my opinion. Even better than Sling. This app just blows my mind.

We thought it is quiet expensive for APAC student customer , but affordable if you are Commercial service likes pub/bar or FINE dining restaurant for
five star hotel or Michelin three star French/italian style restaurant
On Xfinity Recorded is better than On Demand because you can skip the ads. On demand you can't or the fast forward is delayed.
The best is "BCE Premium TV"
Its going to give people who live in NEW ENGLAND a chance to watch NESN which airs the Redsox, Bruins and other sports teams. NESN is only a part of the very much more expensive packages with cable providers. Thanks to you tube for coming up with a lower cost option for us. :)
any buffering issues ?
So I cant pre record for future upcoming shows for next week?

When are you going to do a review on the Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote ? Thanks
RT Rey
Is closed caption available
Can I watch on UA-cam through my Smart TV?
I am an over the road truck driver. I travel through 4-7 states a day. Is this a product that would suit my needs for times when I'm waiting for cargo? Obviously I'm not going to be in the area that I purchased it in.
I wonder if all 6 accounts can watch at the same time. Do each different emails have their own recordings? Or are they all listed under one account?
Can you watch UA-cam TV on multiple TVs at the same time?
Is it in Orlando FL?
It's also available here in Phoenix, AZ
I agree with your assessment on youtubeTV...one thing to mention is the number of channels (47 in ny market) is focused on sports and lacks other entertaining channels like hgtv, food network, tbs, tnt as well as a few other local market channels like CW and PBS. Also, other competitors offer more channels (utube is 47 vs HuluTV is 64 for $5 more) so it depends what you really want so do the ho mework and give the free trials a chance before to pick...you can always cancel anytime and switch which I like it to give some competition to earn my business! :))
Will I be able to watch this stuff on my TV or will I have to watch it on the computer?
I have a question: if youtube TV doesn't show a guide how can you record a show, envent, movie etc that will be transmitted in the future? for example I want to record a sport game that will be broadcast live the next day how can I schedule it to be recorded? is this possible without a guide? this for me is a deal-breaker
Can I get this on my firestick?
You can download the TV Guide app for future shows.
all you need is Kodi and use a build like titanium and Bam you get all the streaming channels you could want and it's not illegal to stream. you can even find any movie you could ever want to watch. so I don't pay for tv anymore
How is a cable company with half a dozen competitors a monopoly?
1. Direct TV
2. Dish Network
3. UA-cam TV
4. Amazon Prime
5. Hulu
6. Sling
7. Other more limited streaming services
Of the above, only Dish and Direct TV gave me better and easier to use service than cable. And they weren't cheap either.
So you get 6 accounts per membership, can you watch from 2 or more of the accounts on seperate networks, or does it have to be on the same network?
Is that KDE on your PC or just customized Windows 10?
Does it work well with a VPN?
Valid in India yes?
Now is Available in my city of Oklahoma as of October.
what do you think joe,will they make it global soon or will take a year something???
Does the monthly charge come out of your payment method automatcly every month or do they sent u a bill every month then u haft to sent them what ever amount u are signed up for
I rather watch UA-cam Tv because I'm not a huge fan of Netflix Originals. Netflix won't even tell you how many views something got and not to mention it's lost 2000 movies.
Thank you for your review of UA-cam TV. I think I may try it.
So if you sign up for UA-cam TV on a computer and then try to run it through an Apple TV is it free of will you be charged the extra $ per month?
On pc could you just use adblock and vpn?
I'm enjoying UA-camTv... not sure what your talking about. Better then Dish for sure!
get sling tv or direct tv they have
more cartoon channels
