YouTube 推出 YouTube TV 服務:「Finally, live TV made for you」。
直接打了幾個大頻道,尤其是運動類的頻道:
Live TV streaming from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, regional sports networks and dozens of popular cable networks.
比較完整的頻道資訊可以參考這張:
可以錄影:
A cloud DVR, with no storage limits.
跨電腦、平板與手機:
A service that works great on all your screens.
價錢也只有目前常態性的一半 (相較於買比較完整的 cable 方案),USD$35/month,而且不用簽長期合約:
Half the cost of cable with zero commitments. A YouTube TV membership is only $35 a month and there are no commitments—you can cancel anytime.
這的確有殺傷性了... 加上 YouTube 的需求所累積的頻寬,應該會比起 Netflix 當時遇到的問題少?
