1. IT PROVIDES UNLIMITED CLOUD DVR STORAGE
Apart from its ability to enable users to view live TV programs, YouTube TV also provides users with unlimited cloud DVR storage. And with the aid of this special feature, users can add a TV show or sports team to their favorites and it will be saved automatically for them. The unlimited cloud DVR storage enables users to record as many TV shows and programs they wish, simultaneously and without the use of data or space on the user’s phone. However, the recorded TV shows and programs can be streamed at any time from any device. According to information from Google, the recorded TV shows and programs are stored for nine months. Also, the TV shows and programs recorded by the DVR can be fast forwarded to skip right past all the commercials in the TV show.
2. IT IS AVAILABLE ON ALL SCREENS

Users can also stream the YouTube TV to their TV with the help of a Google Chromecast or Chromecast built-in TV. The YouTube TV is also capable of working with Google Home and thereby enabling the users to ask Google Home to to play a show on their chrome cast. And also, the YouTube TV app is also available for TVs with big screen.

Every YouTube TV subscription enables up to six different user accounts, therefore each user is allowed to create a unique profile for customized recommendations of TV shows and programs and for their private DVR libraries. YouTube TV enables up to three users to stream contents at the same time.
Thanks for all your efforts to provide these streaming guides. YouTube TV now carries Discovery Channel and Travel Channel (June 2020). It’s too bad that Playstation Vue is gone, but I see the Guide still lists it. If only . . . (and I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere. Still finding my way around.)
My husband and I switched to You Tube TV from Direct TV. However, I was not aware that YouTube TV didn’t offer the A & E channel or the Discovery Fit & Health channel. Those two channels are dealbreakers for me. If you’re not going to offer them, I would appreciate knowing that so we can move on finding a stream that does offer them.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
