    Had RUclips TV after cutting the cable, but after several years realized it was also not worth the cost, nor the propaganda. Switched to Premium RUclips and have never missed anything RUclips TV offered.

    It's unfortunate so many companies don't want you to call them. If something cost over $70 a month there should just be a number for people to call. It is also annoying that it is called RUclips TV but to make certain changes you need to be on a mobile device or computer. All settings should be available on the tv.

    I only get that "Who's watching" selection if I click on MAX. I've had RUclipsTV now for close to two years and love it. Our local cable company was getting ridiculously expensive.. When I turn on RUclipsTV, it starts at HOME.. One click to LIVE and that's it. 🥰

    I've had RUclips TV for about a year now, and am pretty satisfied, for the most part. My one minor complaint is the fact that "Library" is unreliable. Very often, shows that have been recorded, or were about to be recorded, do not show up in the "Library".
    For this amount of money, I expect better.

  • @TheFrugalAudiophile

    One workaround for having RUclips TV open at start up with a Roku is to use the voice remote Pro. This remote has user programmable macro buttons that can be set to any app that has been downloaded. You can then press that macro button even when the TV is turned off and it will power on an open RUclips TV. whether using a Roku TV or standalone Roku streamer. as far as I know, the voice remote pro can be used with any Roku device that was released in the last five years or so.

    • @MichaelSaves
      @MichaelSaves  21 день назад +1

      Yes, I have this remote and use the button #2 for YTTV. Good point and something I could have demonstrated in the video. What I think people would like is for RUclips TV to open and directly go to live TV (last channel), not a home screen. I get this request mostly from people who have older loved ones who find streaming complicated.

    I have very few issues with RUclips tv.

    What I really want is for them to get the MLB Network back and offer MLB TV as an add-on again.

    Even with the largest live TV streaming audience, RUclipsTV seems to have its fair share of quirks and/or limitations. AT&T's U-Verse service was generally without these types of quirks or limitations. That said, the cost of U-Verse had gone through the roof by the time we cut the cord in March 2023. I guess you get what you pay for.

    To the folks in the comment section saying they “switched from YTTV to Premium”, that’s apples to oranges, comparing live tv to videos you watch from content creators

    • @MichaelSaves
      @MichaelSaves  21 день назад +3

      True, but a lot of people test out YTTV (or a competitor) and realize they don't need live TV anymore. I think that's what people are getting at.

    • @nickobeazo
      @nickobeazo 21 день назад +2

      @@MichaelSaves I guess that’s fair to say. With all the older and current shows you can watch on-demand on Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, etc., that’s what I thought as a better comparison to ditch live tv, but there’s definitely just as much content here. Premium is definitely worth it to avoid the constant ads, too!

      I think that's a financial calculation. Also, the WNBA is having a moment and there is a lot of attention on Caitlin Clark. I think there will be a lot of growth in the years ahead.
