YouTube's $35-a-month TV streaming service just launched - here's what it's like

Google's experiment to court cord-cutters begins now.

On Wednesday, Google launched YouTube TV, the live TV video streaming service it announced earlier this year, on iPhone and Android. It costs $35 per month and up to six users can share an account. (However, you can only stream on three devices at the same time.) You also get a one-month free trial and can cancel whenever you want. No contracts.

YouTube TV includes over 40 channels with the option to buy premium networks like Showtime. There's also a virtual DVR service with unlimited storage so you can stream shows you've recorded to your device and skip past commercials.

Here's a quick overview of the channels you get with YouTube TV:

I've only been using YouTube TV for a few days, so this isn't a full, in-depth review. I also haven't had a chance to test the service on Chromecast or use the voice control features with the Google Home speaker. But overall, the video streams have been steady and reliable on YouTube TV, which has been a big challenge for competitors like DirecTV Now and Sling TV. We'll see how it holds up once the public gets to try it though.
