Can you use this on two YouTube accounts? Like pay for it but link two YouTube accounts so two different people can use it if that makes sense?
Got a tip for us?

Not sure, check out the FAQs on youtube tv website.

I understand this is cord cutters, etc...but the price doesn't make a sense in my case - I have Verizon FIOS and I am paying $ 89+tax for Internet 100/100 /phone/ TV (no HBO, etc)
Not exactly. If it's live streaming of the right mix of channels, and one already subscribes to Hulu, this comes in about the same as say, Hulu + DirecTV Now, but with DVR.

Not everyone has your pricing. I have 1Gig from RCN, but it's just internet, for $68/mo, so this actually comes in way below what it would cost for adding cable from them.
It gets worst since in addition to Hulu ($39+) you will have to subscribe to Internet service (without the triple play savings) - that can go from $69+

Given that it includes the regular Hulu service, this is actually a pretty good price. You may have little need for the DVR add-on, especially if you have the ad-free version, since many new shows are part of Hulu's on-demand library already.
I doubt they have it ready, which is why they gave away a free year of HBO to keep people from bailing as soon as this came out.
the pricing of those stand alone streaming services like Hulu TV or Google TV is just stupid. For about $40-50 I can have 220 channels from Comcast and stream most of them, plus that includes 1-2 premium channels. Since anyone needs internet to start, I am not sure how going with this is better than bundling TV service from the internet provider like Comcast. Until these stand alone services costs like $20 a month and offer double what they currently do, I do not see the appeal at all.
You can skip ads if you purchase the $14.99 Cloud DVR upgrade that has 200 hours of total storage. The base DVR has 50 hours and, although not confirmed, seemingly can't skip ads.
my savings was significant from brighthouse/spectrum going to internet only. Be wary of those 'limited pricing' deals with cable.
Forget "ready," I haven't even heard rumors they are actively working on it. I kind of thing they don't really want a DVR service because it would incentivize their sat service customers to switch. DVR and NFL are the only features the sat service has that are missing in NOW. Of course the sat service is a bigger cash cow because of the fees charged for HD service, receiver boxes, and DVR service on top of programming charges.
Meanwhile, now-standard services like Apple Pay and News app are not even available yet in countries like Germany and the Netherlands.
I've been using these for a relatively unique reason. My cable line comes into the back of my house, while my TV setup (actually projector) is in the front of the house. So to use a normal cable box I would have to run a wire through my 150 year old home over or through fireplaces, drilling holes in intervening walls, etc. I'd also have to run a wire up a wall, drill a hole in the floor and run it into second floor bedroom for TV up there. This while I have blistering fast wifi throughout my house all just because Time Warner won't allow me a wifi streaming app that runs on my Apple TV. So instead I subscribed to Sling TV. It is a bit cheaper, but as you say much buggier and more complex. However, I recently tried Playstation Vue since it came to Apple TV. It works much faster than Sling to switch channels and seems much less buggy.
The cost saving is meaningless. But I reduced the wires that I have to run through my house. And I stay in the Apple TV hardware for all my viewing, which is nice.
Meh.
I pay $12 for Hulu no commercial and $35 for DTVNow with HBO (which I only sometimes watch).
So its a $3 difference BUT I get local channels and the ability to record.
If they have a free trial I'd check it out. But I really don't' want to cancel my locked in $35 DTVNow just to try this out.

Yes you can put up an antenna... but can you take that live broadcast with you?
I can't get that price from Time Warner in NYC. Adding a TV package to my internet from Time Warner is more expensive than this. And if I want to watch TV on two TVs (living room and bedroom), I have to rent two cable boxes at $10 a month from Time Warner on top of the TV service.
Agreed. I "upgraded" my $12/month to the $44/month package. For the free month, I added unlimited screens and Enhanced DVR. See how much I rely on them. Maybe YouTube TV will be ready for iOS/Apple TV in my area by the time the month is up
