This change will go into effect for new subscribers starting March 16, 2023. The new price for a Base Plan is $72.99 per month. We're making changes to pricing to keep bringing you the best service possible.ĭue to the rising cost of content, we’re updating our membership pricing to reflect the complete value of YouTube TV. In those apps, you may find that the quality is just a little bit better.We built YouTube TV to bring you a reimagined TV experience. For others, it may make a lot more sense to find dedicated streaming services to get you the content you want. The World Cup streams – for whatever reason – look better there anyways.įor certain channels and streams, YouTube TV’s 4K Plus plan can make a big difference, especially if you’re running it on a higher-end television. One example would be tying your YouTube TV account to the Fox Sports app and watching the 4K upscaled broadcast that way. Of course, for every channel on YouTube TV, there’s an alternative out there. If you love reality TV or National Geographic’s coverage, you may be interested in 4K streams from those channels. No matter what marketing may have you believe, most sports broadcasts just don’t do full 4K yet. When it comes right down to it, it really depends on who you are and what you watch. On top of that, using the Fox Sports app on Google TV provided better 4K results than YouTube TV did, even though they are, in fact, streamed with the same cameras, equipment, and so on. Switching back and forth between 4K and 1080p made almost no difference at all, with the 1080p version almost looking better in some regards. Testing this on YouTube TV led to some interesting results. ESPN is an absolute joke, they still don't even do 1080p and neither do a lot of broadcasters, it's shameful.īut it is important to point out that the 4k package gives you more than 4k content, you also get "Unlimited concurrent streams at home" and "Ability to view DVR recordings offline for available content (mobile devices only)". I did a free trial of it a while back and in 30 days I saw zero things in 4k. Unfortunately, that content appears to just be upscaled 1080p and not native 4k. ![]() Fox Sports, of course, is included in the 4K Plus plan and offers the streams in that higher resolution. It’s worth noting that upscaled content does look very good and has the ability to pass as native 4K nine times out of ten, however, it’s just not the same.įor instance, the World Cup 2022 in Qatar has had every match streamed via Fox Sports and its corresponding channels via YouTube TV. Though it may be difficult to tell, most content coming out of the $10/month add-on is just 1080p content upscaled to 4K. Interestingly enough, a lot of what YouTube TV offers in the way of upgraded 4K content isn’t genuine 4K. For example, if you like what NBC has to offer, try Peacock. ![]() You could choose one or two and find their dedicated streaming services to set up shop in. On top of that, you’re really only getting eight more channels with 4K supported content, and depending on what you frequently watch, that channel package may be less than interesting. That’s undeniably a large chunk of money for most users. In addition to YouTube TV’s monthly cost of $64.99, the “4K Plus” plan adds an extra $20 to your bill, for a total of $84.99/month, so long as you don’t add anything extra. Of course, that makes a lot of sense and in the case when you want to watch football, soccer, or basketball in 4K, YouTube’s extra package seems like a good deal. Of those eight, half are sports channels. ![]()
