One of the most requested features is finally making its way on YouTube TV. For a long time, users have been asking Google to include surround sound audio support.
Along with the new Surround Sound, the platform will also be offering a “4K Plus” service. If you buy the new add-on package, you will be able to watch videos in 4K. It also allows users to download shows from their DVR if they want to watch them offline. Moreover, you will be able to stream unlimited streams at home.
Note: The regular version of YouTube only allows three parallel streams.
If you subscribe to the 4K package, you can also enjoy
