YouTube TV pain points will bother some customers more than others. YouTube TV:

Does not carry regional sports networks like Bally Sports, Yes, and SNY. These channels are costly to carry. With YouTube TV you get 15 sports channels included in the base rate, and, you can add Sports Plus Add-On channels like Tennis Channel, OutsideTV, FandeulTV and others, for an additional $10.99/mo. NFL Sunday Ticket is now available on YouTube TV for $299 before Sept 19, thereafter, $349.

Doesn’t use channel numbers in its schedule list. Lookups are by the channel name. This shouldn’t annoy native-digital generations but longtime cable viewers will have an adjustment. Broadcasters are branding their name with YouTube TV viewers rather than with a channel number that could change at any time. Minor point but worth mentioning.

Limits DVR functionality in that you can’t single out one episode in a series to download or delete from your library; it’s the entire series or nothing. Hopefully this will be added in future.

Doesn't offer every channel. To get a more comprehensive channel lineup, you'd need to opt for the most expensive cable plan. Even then, you might discover that your favorite game or live event is unavailable in your area due to blackouts or ongoing contract disputes between broadcasters and content providers. For most people, the goal isn't to have access to every channel; it's about having access to the channels that matter most to them.

Requires an additional fee for watching in 4K resolution (Ultra HD); access to premium entertainment channels, and additional Spanish channels beyond those included in the base. On the other hand, no hidden charges.

Commercials come with, but some are skippable.

Overall, you can try YouTube TV for free for up to one week before you’d have to cancel or be automatically enrolled in a basic subscription. The trial period gives you enough of a taste to see how you like it before the basic subscription of $72.99/mo. kicks in. YouTube sometimes offers a discount for the first three months of $64.99 and then it goes up to $72.99 thereafter. All you need is at least one streaming device, whether phone, laptop, tablet, smart TV or other. There are no contracts so you can cancel any time you want. Check with your mobile provider because some may offer a small discount for YouTube TV subscriptions for a few months.
