Yes you can, however, the user up North needs to use their log-on User ID icon (when they ask you Who's watching when you open up YTV) and you can use your ID icon down here when watching at same time. Before 3 months, use the person up North's User icon down here (or vice-versa depending on your home location) and you're set.

YTTV is great! If you do not like it you can cancel- no contract. The best part is the NFL ticket and watching TV on my own time with the unlimited DVR.

Our future involves having internet at both our northern home and the Villages along with a subscription to a streaming service that easily allows us to stream at both homes (along with Netflix and Amazon Prime). My research has us strongly leaning towards YouTube TV, but before making the final decision I would greatly appreciate feedback from others in our situation.

Specifically, is it relatively easy/seamless to stream from both homes?

Does the cloud DVR service work seamlessly at both homes?

If one of us is at our Villages home, and the other is up north, can we both stream simultaneously from different locations?

When they say the limit is three streams concurrently, does that include recording to the cloud based DVR or just live TV?

Can we keep our northern home as our default location for local viewing regardless of where we are (we get local channels at our Villages home for free through our antenna)?

Have you hade any issues using Roku as the streaming device along with YouTube TV?

Any feedback from those with experience would be greatly appreciated.

I used HULU and it worked well in both. The DVR took some getting used to. I love Roku BTW

Can we keep our northern home as our default location for local viewing regardless of where we are (we get local channels at our Villages home for free through our antenna)? YES, AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT YOU GET THE COMMERCIALS FROM THERE TOO

Have you hade any issues using Roku as the streaming device along with YouTube TV? WE HAVE SMART TVs - NO STICKS NEEDED SO CAN'T ANSWER

Hulu has a customer service# 877 824 4858. I use Hulu while I'm in Fl then again back north. The idea of the 3 month sign in with You Tube TV is not convenient as there is no one up north I would bother to do that.

When you go back North after the 4th month, does that mean you’re stuck watching Florida local channels for 8 months due to the “can only change 1 time per year” and you already changed it once? That seems like a strange restriction.
Thanks in advance.

It's 3 times per year you can change.

Thanks for all the replies and great information. I’m paid up with Comcast through the end of the month and am going to cancel them and pull the trigger with YouTube TV starting May first. I already have all our televisions hooked up to Roku devices and am ready to go. We are going to save a fair amount of $$$ and finally have significantly more viewing options at the Village’s than what our antenna pulls in from Orlando : )

I don't bother with the VCR so can;t speak to that. I use ROKU for all my streaming and have encountered no issues.
