Almost perfect

I rave about YoutubeTv to anyone who will listen. As someone who had to suffer with Charter/Spectrum, I was super pumped when YouTubeTv launched in my area. I read about it for months and was really excited to test it with the 14 day free trial. I have to give youtube props, because its a really good start. Unlimited cloud DVR and a decent number of channels for $35 a month is great. I tried several other streaming services before choosing YouTube and the streaming quality on this app beat all others by a mile. The app almost never skips or freezes. Here are my suggestions: The library needs to be fixed. First, there needs to be more recording options. If I want to record a show, I dont want it to record a million repeats. I want a "new episode only" option. And in my library, I want all of the NEW "first-run" episodes only that I havent watched, and I want the option to delete them from my queue once Ive watched them. Im having a hard time keeping track of what I have or havent watched because episodes move out of the "new" folder after 7 days. Next, there needs to be better fast forward/rewind options. The slider doesnt work great at pin-pointing a spot to start playing. A more traditional fast forward, rewind button would be better than the "skip ahead 15 seconds" button. Also, because you have to cast to tv from your mobile device, you cant use your phone at all when streaming or else the app freezes and you have to disconnect from chromecast and reconnect. Just a few kinks to work out and Id give it 5 stars, but an awesome start. You really cant beat the price. If youre willing to make some sacrifices with channel selection, YoutubeTv is a great way to save money and get rid of cable. Im hoping the Viacom channels will be added as well as HBO sometime soon. Id definitely pay for more options. Id also suggest an a la carte channel option!
