To me, YouTube TV is the best live streaming service with the best DVR on the market!
With that said, the YouTube TV DVR is also one of it's best features.
The reason I like it so much is that the recording space is unlimited!
I never have to worry about having enough storage space to record my favorite shows!
And in this video I'll show you how use the DVR on YouTube TV so you can record and watch
all the programs you want!
But first, let me explain how to record a show!
One way to do it is through the Live Guide.
In this list, it only displays about 2 hours worth of programming on each channel but using
the arrow on the right, I can scroll up to 48 hours ahead.
Once I find a show I want to record like Friends here, all I have to do is select it and click
on the big Plus button to start recording.
Now it'll start recording this episode as well as the entire series.
And just so you know, it never records just a single episode.
YouTube TV will record every episode as it airs.
But of course that's not a problem because of the you'll never run out of DVR space.
Ok, I can also record a show I'm currently watching.
So let me close out of this and go to the Home menu.
Here I'm going to start watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent on live TV.
And while the show is live on air, I can go to the bottom of the screen and click on the
Plus button under the progress bar.
When I see the red circle spinning around the check mark, I can confirm this show is
recording.
I can also uncheck it to stop the recording.
Now let me show you where to access recorded programs.
They'll all be stored in the Library tab.
It's categorized to make everything easy to locate.
And right here in the middle row, I can see upcoming shows that are scheduled to be recorded.
But let's take a look at The Office.
I've been recording this show for quite awhile.
In the DVR it initially pops up with Season 9.
But since YouTube TV records every episode, I can access every season of the Office so
I can watch every episode from the beginning.
It's a cool feature that allows me to binge watch a long running series.
So far I've been showing you the DVR functionality on a web browser.
But with the YouTube TV app on iPhone or Android, I can watch all my shows on the go!
To record a show just tap on the thumbnail and then tap the Plus button to add the show
to the Library.
Again, a spinning circle means the show is being recorded.
To stop recording just tap it again.
To find recordings on the mobile app, just go to the Library.
And like before, all the recordings are categorized in sections.
This is where I can find Law & Order: Criminal Intent that I started recording earlier through
my computer earlier.
It's been a few days since I shot the footage from my computer so now I can see that every
season is now in my Library.
As mentioned before, I think the YouTube DVR is absolutely the best feature of this streaming
service.
The unlimited space allows me to everything!
Even tennis tournaments that last for 2 weeks!
And there's a new feature they added for sports events like this.
YouTube TV now allows me to jump to the specific matches I want to see without having to scroll
through the entire recording.
The did something similar with the previous Olympics coverage as well.
And here's one last thing you need to know.
While DVR space is unlimited, recorded programs will automatically be deleted after 9 months.
But for me, I've never found that to be an issue.
If I haven't watched something in 9 months I'm probably not going to watch it at all!
