Yeah you're not alone. Their reddit has the same complaints about the guide not going too far in the future like Sling.I'm digging it so far. I got some issues with their video quality, but it's nothing too bad. I hope that improves down the line. One of my biggest issues so far is the DVR... where you don't have a lot of options in the settings when you record stuff (IE "extend 30 minutes"). Sometimes with live shows, like the Emmys, they would go longer than usual and it would cut off in the recordings. I wanna know if that happened to anybody while using Youtube TV?
Also not a fan of not being able to look on the guide for future shows that's longer than 7 hours. On Direct TV you can look for shows 2 weeks from now in the guide. I know you can search for shows and record them, but I kinda missed that.
Welp, I've finally done it... I've officially canceled Cable/Satellite after 3 decades on this earth.
Amazon also announced a new Fire TV experience coming to devices later this year. It says it'll be a more personalised experience with support for up to 6 discrete profiles and a focus on Alexa for navigation.
Shield TV master race!New 4k HDR Chromecast with built in Google TV (formerly Android TV) should be officially announced next week too.
Gonna pick one up day 1
Finally some competition.Google Announced their new streaming Chromecast called....the Chromecast with Google TV. I could've sworn they'd call it something Nest related. Nest Chromecast maybe
Chromecast with Google TV launches: 4K, Android OS, $49 - 9to5Google
Anyway, I managed to snag one from Target 2 days ago on launch day. I maybe be biased because I haven't really fiddled with Fire Sticks or Rokus, but I really like it. I have a Xbox for my main entertainment device in one room and I had an older Chromecast for my living room, but this new Chromecast is obviously better.
Love being able to browse and not having to go into individual apps to find programs. The remote is a plus. Simple but I missed it when using my living room TV. No missing streaming servies. I can get HBO Max and Peacock. I also love the YouTube TV, Google and Google Assistant integration. On top of all that I still have the ability to cast from my comp or phone the traditional way.
At only 50 bucks it's really a good deal if you don't have a streaming dongle or have any Nest/Google products.
Ugh. I signed on the 15th. If I had known...
Someone on reddit said the coupon may appear on your next billing cycle if you signed up this month. Not holding my breath.Ahh I can't seem to get it. If only I waited.
I guess I'll buy it eventually.
