YouTube TV injects ads on certain content. I know it's there for on-demand TV shows, and some live sports. It's literally overlaid on top of the channel's ads in the live example.
I think years ago when I first subscribed one of the major benefits was the ability to skip through these ads just like DVR, but you can no longer do that.
- mucle6 3y agoI thought you could skip ads in dvr?
- rchaud 3y agoYou can, but not while watching live TV.
- charlesray 3y agoCable TV broadcasts include both the network's ads and slots for the carrier to run their own ads. They're not inserting bonus ads on top of the actual content. Again, this is exactly the same as any cable provider has always worked.

- hx8 3y agoYou're not wrong. It's just that YouTube TV needs to be in time sync with Cable TV.
- charlesray 3y agoWe don't have a choice. That's how cable works, and YouTube TV exists for those of us who need it. They can't magically create an ad free broadcast of TNT or something. How would that even work? You don't have to like broccoli but it'd be weird to complain that it doesn't taste like chocolate.
