In the coming weeks, YouTube TV will present a new add-on package that will offer “4K streaming, offline viewing and unlimited simultaneous streaming at home”.
The company announced the next changes to a blog on Wednesday morning, saying “After just a few years, YouTube TV now has more than 3 million subscribers, more than 85 networks and offers unlimited DVR. Sports fans can even enjoy their favorite games with the ability to view important plays, hide spoilers and check statistics in real time. And there’s more to come, including a new add-on option that allows viewers to watch programs available in 4K or download them to your DVR to watch offline later. “
With the update, YouTube TV subscribers will also have unlimited simultaneous streams at home, so everyone can watch what they want, when they want, on their own screens.
Although YouTube TV did not provide any price information in the ad, calling it an additional package implies that viewers will have to pay more than the $ 65 / month cost of a YouTube TV subscription.
Google’s most recent report placed YouTube TV at over 3 million subscribers, making it the second largest live TV streaming service after Hulu with Live, at 4 million. Sling TV is the third most popular, with 2.46 million in the third quarter.
