[Ipg-smz] Advice Needed: Cutting the Cord

Never would suggest that you would, Tara. It’s just an issue that is often confused by many. Also, in my excitement I didn’t notice the link until after I emailed. No offense meant. Apologies.

The article I linked to should answer that question, or if you like I can go take a picture of our television running YouTube TV off a Fire Stick.

I assure you I do not go out of my way to provide misinformation. Especially on a mailing list containing so many people I respect.

Just to confirm, I saw the YouTube app announced on the firestick, but does it include Live TV? All other YouTube apps do not unless they specifically state it in the name.

"YouTube TV is great, but doesn’t run on a firestick"

YOUTUBE TV NOW RUNS ON FIRESTICKS. Installed it on mine about two weeks ago.

When I last looked at DirecTV it didn’t have DVR capability and was missing several key channels. YouTube TV is great, but doesn’t run on a firestick and so does not integrate with my smarthome strategy. Hulu with Live TV is as good as YouTube TV and DOES run on firestick.
