On Tuesday, YouTube formally unveiled YouTube TV, its answer to similar services like Dish's SlingTV, AT&T's DirecTV Now, and Sony's PlayStation Vue. (Hulu is also expected to launch its own live TV service later this year.)
It will cost $35 per month and include a virtual DVR service. YouTube also has a virtual DVR service with unlimited storage, but shows will automatically delete after nine months.
