Price: $40 per month.

Who it’s best for: Cord-cutters looking for another option in addition to Sling TV and DirecTV Now. YouTube TV, which started in April, offers access to live TV from up to 50 providers, including all the major networks. It also has a cloud DVR with unlimited storage. With expanded availability in more markets, right now its biggest limitation is that it doesn’t support Amazon Fire TV streaming players. (More support is coming; see below.)

But YouTube TV does have a nice selection of channels, including Bravo, Disney, ESPN, FX, Fox News, Fox Sports, MSNBC, National Geographic, USA, and some regional sports networks. AMC will be added soon, and you also get access to the original programming on YouTube Red, usually $10 per month. Showtime and a few other channels can be added for an additional fee. But right now it lacks programming from Viacom (Comedy Central, MTV), Time Warner (HBO, CNN, the Cartoon Network, TNT), Discovery Communications, and Scripps Networks Interactive (the Food Network, HGTV). YouTube says it’s still in discussions with networks, so more channels could be added soon.

Latest news: When Google announced this winter that it was raising the price of YouTube TV from $35 to $40 a month, it said the MLB Network would be included soon. Now the service has launched the live MLB Network channel. Eventually, the companies say, YouTube TV will also carry MLB.tv, the league’s online subscription service, for an undisclosed additional fee.

Subscribers also get a few new Turner channels, including CNN, TBS, and TNT, plus the NBA. YouTube TV is now available on the Roku platform, something Google had said would happen in early 2018. Also, the service just struck a deal to show games from a new LA-based Major League Soccer team, the Los Angeles Football Club. It also has naming rights on the players’ jerseys. The team, whose owners include Magic Johnson and Will Farrel, joins the MLS in March.

The service recently announced it has expanded into 34 additional markets, putting YouTube TV in 84 cities around the U.S. It launched earlier this year in five major metro areas: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Google says that more device support is coming to YouTube TV, including smart TVs from LG, Samsung, and Sony; Apple TV, Nvidia Shield; Xbox One game consoles; and a slew of other streaming devices.

YouTube TV supports up to three simultaneous users and up to six separate accounts. It has a cloud DVR—a virtual recorder that stores programs for you on YouTube’s servers—that lets you save as many shows as you want for up to nine months before they’re deleted.
