How to customize your YouTube TV subscription
Once you've made your account and started watching, there are various ways to enhance your subscription, and personalize it for your tastes.
Navigate and customize the three main tabs on the YouTube TV homepage
These tabs are 'Library, Home,' and 'Live.' The 'Home' tab is where YouTube gives you recommendations of what to watch.
You can tap the '+' button next to programs you'd like to add to your library, and YouTube TV will automatically record all programs as they air. You can then access all of them in the Library tab.
The 'Live' TV tab shows you everything that's playing right now. Check out your local live broadcast channels and watch sports, local news, or catch primetime shows airing on those broadcast networks. You can scroll down further to see over 70 popular cable networks and local sports networks.
You can customize the Live tab to match your viewing preferences. For example, you can reorder networks in the guide or hide certain networks so that only your favorite networks appear.
To do this, select 'Sort' on the Live tab, tap 'Edit' and customize your Live tab.
Finally, the 'Library' tab is for your recordings. Add any show, sports team, event, movie, and so on to your library just by tapping the '+' button. YouTube TV will record all current and upcoming airings.
