YouTube is about to make its first play into the television business<\/strong> as the company has revealed that it will be launching a new service within the coming months: YouTube TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Available exclusively in the United States<\/strong>, YouTube TV is the company\u2019s first attempt at providing a television-like service. At launch, the service will have around 46 channels<\/strong>, ranging from American television mainstays such as ABC, FOX and many others, to genre-specific channels like National Geographic Wild and ESPN. On top of that, YouTube Red will also be part of the YouTube TV<\/strong> experience.<\/p>\n

Unique to YouTube Red is something YouTube is referring to as a \"Cloud DVR\"<\/strong>. With this system in place, subscribers to YouTube Red can opt to record television programs for later viewing directly to the Cloud<\/strong>. The best part about the \"Cloud DVR<\/strong>\" is that there will be no storage limits<\/strong> tied to it. As such, subscribers can record any amount of programs as they please and view them from their platform of choice.<\/p>\n

Speaking of platforms, YouTube TV will be available across Android and iOS devices<\/strong>, as well as the traditional computer. While it appears that YouTube TV won\u2019t be available as an app<\/strong> for Smart TVs just yet, YouTube did confirm that the service will support both Google Chromecast and Chromecast-ready TVs.<\/p>\n

Now for the important bit: pricing. YouTube TV will have a monthly subscription fee of USD35. A subscription to YouTube TV will net the subscriber six YouTube TV accounts<\/strong>, each of which comes with its own recommendations and Cloud DVR system. Assuming you\u2019re able to share the cost of a YouTube TV subscription amongst yourself and five other people, YouTube TV would cost roughly USD5.83 per month for a single person<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The only restriction that YouTube TV seems to have at the moment is that the service can only support up to three concurrent streams at any moment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
