YouTube TV comes to 14 more US cities like Boston, Seattle & Pittsburgh
Google's nascent YouTube TV on Thursday expanded into 14 more U.S. cities, a few notable places being Baltimore, Boston, Las Vegas, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Tampa.
The other additions include Cincinnati, Columbus, Jacksonville, Louisville, Memphis, San Antonio, and West Palm Beach. YouTube TV is now available in 29 markets in total.
Currently the service offers over 50 channels, such as the big four broadcasters (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC) and related stations. Notably missing are networks from Turner and Viacom such as CNN, TBS, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. Only two add-ons are available, Showtime and Fox Soccer Plus.
Subscriptions cost $35 per month for a base package with six accounts. Subscribers can watch via Chromecast, an iPhone or iPad, a Mac or Windows PC, and various Android devices. There is no native Apple TV app, but the iOS client does support AirPlay.
The service's biggest draw may be its free cloud DVR functions, which have no storage limits. Customers also get a free Chromecast after their first payment, and free access to YouTube Red Originals, but not other Red features like offline caching.

That said, this is not for me, and I'll not be buying in Seattle.
I think streaming channels should have commercials unless you paid for a subscription like Netflix or hbo.
i agreed with you on bundles
No skipping commercials?
35$ / mo?
I can just split DISH with my room mate and get it all.
Most people do not realized you pay higher product costs because of ads. I personally have tried to negotiate away that fee when buying a new car and never been successful. They will all tell they can not drop it from the car. BTW, that cost its $400 to $600.
Welcome to the complicated world of advertising within the media world.
I personal wish we were allowed to record content locally from any sources. I have 8th of storage and I can hold lots of content locally.
