YouTube TV free

The simple and honest answer is “you can’t!” at least not in a legal way. Sure some parties allow you to watch YouTube TV for free, but then again, you will either be stormed by popups, get a bunch of malware, or won’t get complete access to this version of YouTube. 

There is a simple logic to getting things on the internet- nothing is for free. Even if things seem free, you pay them with either data, ad views, or other secondary methods. Therefore unless you are willing to expose yourself to malware or annoying ads, you can’t get YouTube TV for free. 

However, there is a specific situation where you will not need to pay for this YouTube Service. That said, before we talk about “How to get YouTube TV for free?” we must remind you that YouTube TV is not the same as YouTube Premium. That is a completely different service from YouTube although both of these are among some of the best OTT platforms

With this note, let’s get started with the basics first.

YouTube TV is a service from YouTube that enables you to watch TV from all the major and popular broadcasting cable networks. This includes having access to all the shows and programs in the included broadcasting channels and additional features such as unlimited recording, Multiple-user access, Picture in Picture, Dark Mode, and more. 

In other words, YouTube TV is just your regular TV subscription but streamed through the medium of YouTube with additional features that you access via the internet. 

Although this feature of YouTube requires a constant internet connection, with the availability and affordability of the internet in this digital era, this drawback is somewhat insignificant compared to all of the features you gain from YouTube TV. 

What are the features of YouTube TV?

There are eight major benefits that you gain from YouTube TV when compared to general Television subscription services. These core features are why subscribing to this broadcast streaming service from YouTube is worth paying a few bucks for.

The primary features of YouTube TV are:

1) Unlimited Recordings

This is a simple but key benefit of YouTube TV. You can record and store unlimited TVs and Shows for free. As long as you have the Subscription, you will get unlimited storage space and can view the shows for up to nine months. That said, you should note that you will also record the ads between the shows while recording. 

2) Access from Multiple Devices and users

Another straightforward but key benefit of YouTube TV is that you can share access to YouTube TV with the same payment plan with six accounts, all accessing this service from different devices. As long as the device can connect to the internet and can run the app, you can access this broadcast streaming service from YouTube. 

3) Picture in Picture

Picture in Picture (P-I-P) is a service that allows you to view the video stream in a small window while doing something else. While this may not be all that attractive for computer users, for those on mobile devices, this is a big attraction. 

4) Show On-Demand

You can watch the show aired on the supported channels on YouTube TV. This also means you can binge on your favorite TV shows whenever you are free without sticking to a strict schedule. 

5) Voice Control

If you have a device that has access to voice commands, like Google Home and Google Nest Mini, you can use voice commands to control and access shows on YouTube TV. 

6) Time Skip

Time Skip is another classic feature of YouTube TV. As its name suggests, you can “Skip” the video to the timeframe of your desire.

7) Dark Mode

Everybody knows what Dark Mode is – it is a darker theme that causes less eye strain which you can apply to YouTube TV. 

8) Mark as Watched

Although marking things as watched may not seem like a big deal, it is, especially if you are consuming news and shows that are updated rather frequently. 

You can probably guess from this list of features why YouTube TV has a price; they provide services that require resources. The question now is –
