The only downside I found is you cannot add one particular episode on the fly from a series. You have to add the series, at which point Youtube tv will record all episodes. Not really a big deal though, as the storage is unlimited, as mentioned above. However, you can remove a series from your library in which case additional episodes will not be recorded. Other than that, I agree Youtube tv has the best system. You can also access regular Youtube from their app, and access your Youtube account if you have one.
F.Y.I
Firestick streaming service has live tv, over 3,000 channels, all local, NFL. MLB, NHL NBA MLB and so much more.
Here are some things that will speed things up.
1. Do you own your own router and is it compatible with your internet company? I recommend you purchase your own router instead of renting from cable company for $12-15/mth.. The netgear c7000 v2 works very well with xfinity. I keep 1 in stock ($169.00)
2. Do you have a 4-K firestick, You will need a firestick for each TV you want hooked up. I keep 3 in stock ($40.00 plus install fee.)
3. You will need passwords for the following; Amazon account, your cable provider, your own internet network
4. Make sure your tv has a HDMI input. (most do since 2004). Any questions please let me know.
thanks so much.
