We are dropping our cable company as of August 16th because it is too expensive. I have signed up for YouTube TV (entered credit card, created user ID and password), but I still cannot get UT TV on my Sony Bravia smart tv. Do I have to unhook the cable box in order to receive UT TV?
Thanks,
Alan
You don't have to unhook your cable.
Are you using the YouTube TV app on your smart TV? Did you sign in through your computer? Are you using a device like Roku?
Quoted from PismoArcade:Are you using the YouTube TV app on your smart TV?
My TV has a YouTube app, but not a YouTube TV app. I can get all the YouTube videos I want on my TV but I cannot get UT TV.
Quoted from PismoArcade:Did you sign in through your computer?
I signed in through my Samsung cell and the TV has acknowledged it

What's a ROKU? I have an Amazon Firestick, but I was told that I did not need it on my smart tv.

Your Firestick will work and yes, if you don't have the YouTube TV app on your TV you do need to use the Firestick.

Roku is similar to the Firestick, but it has way more channels/content. Same idea - an extra device you can add to your TV. I’m a big supporter of it because you can get the base model for $20 or less, and they are supported FAR longer than a SmartTV’s apps. Almost all of my TVs have stopped updating their apps, but their display is perfectly fine. Hence, Roku. You still need to sign in to HBO, Amazon, Netflix, etc but it simplifies everything - one remote, no hassle.
