Youtube.tv App
If you want to take your TV-watching experience on the road or into a different room, consider using a computer or mobile device. You can access YouTube TV on your computer using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox, and for mobile users, the YouTube TV app is readily available. For Apple devices, YouTube TV is available on iPhones and iPads running iOS 10 or later. If you use Android, all that's required is that your device is running Android Lollipop or later (though you should double-check your device's compatibility in the Google Play store).
Does YouTube TV have DVR?
Yes.
DVR access is included with a YouTube TV subscription, and although there are zero restrictions on the amount of hours you're able to record, your recorded programs automatically expire after nine months, whether you like it or not.
Up until recently, a common complaint among subscribers of YouTube TV was that the service would automatically feed you the on-demand version of select programs even if you recorded them with DVR. This might not seem like much, but when you consider that the difference between watching an on-demand episode and watching a recording of that very same episode is the user's ability to fast-forward through commercials, the complaint makes total sense.
Fortunately, in recent months, YouTube has steadily decreased the amount of channels that do this. It might not be a totally seamless, ad-free DVR experience, but it's not as restrictive as it used to be.
Is YouTube TV worth it?
Right now, there are several major streaming platforms competing for your attention. Because their features, channel selections, and price points vary from company to company, there's no way to know if any one is worth it until you give it a shot. This is why I recommend signing up for a free trial to get a feel for the ins and outs of the experience.
Note: If you jump into a free trial offer of YouTube TV, be sure to make note of how long the trial period lasts, as the terms and conditions of these offers frequently change. If you don't cancel in time, you'll get charged for a full month of access.
