At $35 per month, and since I can skip all ads... That might be something. (The Verge confirms you can skip ads [1].) And the DVR forever thing... That might be very nice, especially if they put up tons of old stuff... Plus, NOT paying my cable provider is worth a lot. ...and if this offers a way to Download content to my phone, to watch offline...?

Does it say it will be ad-free? If it is that would be worth $35 to me.

  Sorry, I'm saying "IF". IF, then yes, it'd be worth it to me, too. The Verge confirms you can skip ads: http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/28/14750894/youtube-streaming.. http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/28/14750894/youtube-streaming....

And it's got an infinite DVR. I almost never get to actually watch TV live. Hell, even when I watch TV live, I prefer to pause, go to the bathroom, get something to drink, and then skip commercials. I'm just saying - if I can skip commercials automatically, or without much pain, that'd be very nice.

    The ad skipping sounds just for the DVR. Which is fine for shows you don't need to see live, but you're not doing it for sports or first-run content (what would you even be skipping to?).

AT&T's version of this, which coincidentally also costs $35/mo includes all the ads.

I kind of assumed that at $35/month, there were no ads. You have to skip them? Seems to me that YouTube wants to have its cake and eat it too.

  It's basic cable with unlimited DVR, but bring-your-own data pipe.

According to the blog [1], the DVR lasts 9 months. Which is much better than the competitors, but not "forever". 1. https://youtube.googleblog.com/2017/02/finally-live-tv-made-for-you.html https://youtube.googleblog.com/2017/02/finally-live-tv-made-... "we’ll store each of your recordings for nine months."
