YouTube TV

YouTube TV for Android is a service that offers us access over the Internet to a selection of subscription TV channels by payment a monthly installment.

YouTube's television platform

For a long time now, cable television has been very popular in the United States and it offers great television viewing to its users. Many of these channels, which are available via satellite in other countries, are now also present on online systems such as YouTube TV, thanks to the spread of the Internet.

Google's video portal offers its subscribers access to an offer that includes over 40 television channels of all kinds at a fixed monthly price, offering a package similar to that we can find in many other providers. These are dozens of television channels that broadcast sports, documentaries, children's content, films or series, but also news or live shows.

It's not an alternative to Netflix or HBO since these platforms work as if they were online video clubs when we choose which series and movies to watch and when to watch them.

The most important features

This television package, streamed over the Internet, offered its users the following features:

• You can play any channel wherever you are.
• Function to record the content of a specific channel while watching another.
• Unlimited cloud storage to record any program.
• Share your account with up to 6 users and play content simultaneously on 3.
• Compatible with streaming devices like Google Chromecast.

The price of YouTube online TV is around $35 per month and for the time being it is only available in certain US cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. They intend to expand their service soon, but if you download the APK or its version for iPhone or PC, you'll need a VPN to trick the service if you don't live in one of those places.
