By the way, if you're thinking of cutting the cord, you MUST get @YouTubeTV! Much better than the other streaming services! Just a few helpful tips this Monday morning 🤗

Let me take this moment to say that @YouTubeTV is better than ALL of these other platforms. You can watch all your shows live, set your favorites to record like a DVR, or just find shows there the day after they air. It's fabulous. 💖

Additional programming and advertising

  • Are shows available on demand?

    Many networks provide current episodes of shows, movies, and more on-demand.

  • Does YouTube TV have ads?

    Yes, since the live TV programming comes from network-related content creators, many of the TV networks that we offer have advertising.

    When YouTube videos are shown on YouTube TV, the majority of the ad revenue from them goes to the creators of those videos.

  • Can I fast forward through ads?

    Live TV: As with traditional television, you cannot fast-forward through commercials when watching live TV. However, if you're pausing a show, you can fast-forward until you catch up with the live version of the program.

    DVR: You can record a program by adding it to your library. This means that all broadcasts - including upcoming broadcasts and reruns - are automatically recorded. Typically, you can fast-forward commercials in recorded programs once they have aired live on TV.

    Video on Demand: Many networks offer current episodes of shows, movies, and more on demand. If you have recorded a show that is available on demand at the time you watch it, in some cases the on-demand version will play instead of your recording. You typically cannot fast-forward through ads while watching on-demand videos.

    YouTube videos: If you're a YouTube Premium member, you won't see ads in YouTube videos on YouTube TV. If you're not a YouTube Premium member, you'll see ads on YouTube videos, which helps us support the creators of those videos.
