Even with the ancient and underspecced chromecast, a good youtube tv scrip is like freedom (so long as you got the bandwidth for any given HD channel setup with your tv's.
The only thing I didnt like is how they used to send out a chromecast for free (and they don't, now) with a new membership amd that your DVR gets erased after a non scrip time. I think it was a month? (Some months i may feel like canceling until my shows return! Until their sports finger back! Until something worth watching comes on! Ppl binge watch!)
The individual commercials and such arent super important, (in my dvr'ed shows, i mean i guess they could just default to a commercial-less broadcast and mot my local stuff.) but if i wanted to watch the last world cup (when i had it),I would prefer that it be in there forever - expirations on programs and DVR shouldn't even be a thing.
Other than that, streaming is the way to go and only the proliferation of newer networks (paramount, for example) drives up the frustration.
It isn't JUST the multi app need.. i get that they want us to use their stuff, its that not all apps are created equal. Ytv is excellent, tho. It's Google.
But they could be better, and fort that matter.. googler home as a remote control app is also concerning, as the connection issues have persisted over the years and phones.
But i digress a bit - it's mostly usable without issue. For myself. A boomer will still take issue with setup and maintenance, for example.. so it's complex compared to "plug n play" cable setups.
