  2. What's everyone's favorite/recommended hardware streaming device?

    Leaning towards a #Roku offering, but really they're all in the mix right now.

    the builtin streaming apps on the Vizio TV are unusable, & I'm hoping to make this switch to #YouTubeTV less awful.

    (And before you advise me not to stream my broadcast TV - I agree with you in principle. In practice, my options are not good and this is the way we're going.)

  3. YouTube TV is getting full Multiview customization, allowing users to mix and match up to 4 live streams including content from add-ons such as the NFL Sunday Ticket thurrott.com/music-videos/3354 #youtubetv #youtube #media #technology

  4. Contemplating switching to #YoutubeTV - what do I need to know that no one tells you?

  5. Hey, #YouTubeTV, is there a subscription option where I can give you money and you substitute videos of puppies and kittens for political ads?

  6. I have #YoutubeTV. I wanted to record an #Olympics #Hockey game. It conveniently asked if I wanted to record the game, all hockey games or all Olympic content.

    I figured, I don't have a space limit so why not everything!

    YoutubeTV proceeds to place every god damned event in a SINGLE CATEGORY making finding anything a hell of a chore.

    YoutubeTV 'missed it by thaaaat much'

    I mean, how friggin hard would it be collate by sport?

  9. Upgraded the router to #openwrt 25 rc3, and added a #wireguard server to it. Working well with my quick #googlepixel and #gentoo clients. True test will be next month, to see if #youtubetv thinks it's still in #sandiego while I'm overseas. 😁

  10. Last night, #youtubetv on my primary TV decided that it wasn't sure what my playback location was. The fun began….

    My location -- postal code 75410 -- has two playback locations, Dallas/Fort Worth and Tyler/Longview. I've always had the option to choose, and I've always chosen Dallas.

    Beginning last night, I don't get the option to choose. Not only that, but different devices set the location differently. The YouTubeTV app on my iPhone is always correct (Dallas). My primary TV always chooses Tyler, even after having me verify the location through the phone. My laptop always shows Dallas initially, then resets to Tyler, but sometimes shows Bryan/College Station just for fun.

    YouTubeTV support was not helpful. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a very nice person who was clearly following a script but had no knowledge of the underlying technologies.

    The mere fact that I can no longer choose between two playback locations for a single postal code points to a problem with the backend service. (1/2)

    Alphabet Is Preparing Its Death Blow to Cable TV as We Know It

    December 15, 2025 — 12:05 pm EST,
    Written by James Brumley for The Motley Fool->

    Key Points

    • Alphabet’s YouTube TV will soon be rolling out several different genres of skinny cable-television bundles.
    • This is a strategic shift that studios and cable channels have been especially hoping to avoid.
    • Alphabet can afford to offer these bundles because it doesn’t necessarily need them to turn a direct profit.

    The U.S. cable television industry was already hanging by a thread. Technology giant Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) may be about to completely snip it.

    This is the likely outcome of a move that Alphabet’s cable-television alternative — YouTube TV — recently announced it would soon be making. Although details are still scant, the company plainly said, “Early next year, we’ll launch YouTube TV Plans, bringing more choice and flexibility to our subscribers with over 10 genre-specific packages.”

    And yes, all-important sports is one of those genres. This sports option will include programming from at least Fox, Comcast‘s NBC, and Walt Disney‘s ESPN — brands that are also trying to build stand-alone sports entertainment services outside of cable television with much of the same programming content that YouTube TV’s sports-centric bundle will offer. They’ll now be competing with their own distribution partner.

    It’s the cable companies, however, that have the most to worry about here. The launch of YouTube TV’s new offerings may well mark the beginning of the end of the cable business as we know it today.

    Already vulnerable

    It’s certainly no secret that the country’s cable television business has been on the ropes for over a decade now. Just since early 2018, industry stalwarts Xfinity, Spectrum, and Altice have shed 16.6 million paying customers. That’s a loss of nearly 40% of its total customer base during that seven-year stretch, matching the pace of attrition other names in the business have also experienced.

    Data sources: Comcast, Optimum Communications, Charter Communications. Chart by author.

    Blame the rise of streaming, of course — it’s just cheaper. Then again, so is cable-alternative YouTube TV. Although still relatively more expensive than a wide lineup of multiple streaming services, its starting price point of $82.99 per month is also considerably less than the nation’s average cable bill after local taxes and fees are added to the mix. That’s how YouTube TV has amassed on the order of 10 million customers just since its limited launch in 2017, followed by its nationwide availability as of 2019.

  13. TechCrunch: YouTube TV to launch genre-based subscription plans in 2026. “YouTube TV is launching more than 10 genre-specific channel packages in early 2026, the Google-owned company announced on Wednesday. The move will mark the first time YouTube TV breaks up its cable-like channel bundle.”

  14. RE: flipboard.com/@androidauth/and

    After that Disney carriage dispute, subscribers are wondering just how badly they need cable or linear video services moving forward.

    YouTube TV can't get these á la carte plans rolled out soon enough.
