YouTube TV Offering a Two Week Free Trial Just in Time for the Super Bowl
|YouTube TV, Google’s streaming television platform, is currently offering a free two week trial, just in time for the Super Bowl.
This is a middle-of-the-road free trial offer, with the typical free viewing period running 7-days, and the longest we’ve seen being 21-days for YouTube TV.
While it may sound obvious, with live-TV streaming platforms, the longer the free trial period, the better.
Two weeks gives potential subscribers the opportunity to see how video quality is over a variety of days, a chance to try out the DVR and on-demand content, as well as get accustomed to the streaming platform’s interface to see if it’s a good fit.
There is no end-date listed for this 14-day trial, so I’d jump on it sooner rather than later if you’re at all interested.
YOUTUBE TV
YouTube TV, for many who stream their television content rather than subscribe to cable or satellite, took over at the top of the list for live TV streaming platforms last year.
It was an incredible deal until it raised its price to $64.99 for its only subscription package June 30, 2020.
Now it’s a decent deal.
And with this extended free trial period of 14-days, anyone who’s been thinking of trying a live TV streaming platform can do so with a longer viewing period to see if it’s right for them.
YouTube TV has always been on my short list to move to if DirecTV falls short with its retention offers.
This past fall I tried fubo TV during my DirecTV negotiations and found it just wasn’t the right fit for my viewing preferences.
I was very close to switching to YouTube TV until DirecTV ponied up an acceptable retention offer once again.
Although, there are days I wonder if I made the right choice.
WRAP UP
This YouTube TV offer is a pretty good deal for those who are considering a switch to a live TV streaming platform.
This extended free trial period of 14-days (rather than the regular 7 days) allows you a much better opportunity to gauge whether streaming, and YouTube TV in particular, is right for you.
