Cable is a thing of the past. At least that's what Google thought when it started creating an Internet television service, where we can have our favorite sports channels, series, movies, news ... at the mouse's fingertips through the YouTube TV app, a service that for a few weeks has already been available in the form of an application for Apple TV.
Although it is not yet available in the entire American territory, some rumors claim that Google could expand this service to other countries, mainly to Europe, to reach an agreement with the main payment channels and thus offer its broadcast through a monthly fee, which is the same as currently offered in the United States.
But for now, this service It is only available in American territory And as the months go by, YouTube is closing new agreements to include new channels to those it already offers for $ 35. Some of the latest channels that are already available through YouTube TV are CNN, Adult Swin, TNT, Turner Classic Movies and Cartoon Network, some channels that in order to enjoy them together will force us to pay $ 5 more.
To those 5 dollars more we have to add the 40 dollars a month that the service costs, an increase of 5 dollars with respect to the price that subscribers will continue to pay until next March 13, the date on which the increase will be made official. In the coming months, YouTube TV will also offer NBA and MLB games, at a cost added to the current connection fee.
YouTube TV hit the market to compete with Hulu and Sony PlayStation Vue, a service that has a very similar price, both in terms of fees and in extra channel packages to Google's service. But they are not the only options, since we can also hire Sling TV, a service that offers us access to a large number of channels for only $ 20 per month.
