How to Swap Channels on YouTube TV: Full Guide

YouTube TV is an amazing software service on your smart TV, and unlike traditional cable TVs, changing channels is a tad different. I’ll explain it. YouTube TV is a live-streaming monthly subscription service where you are assigned 70 channels for $49.99 per month. But let’s say you’ve gotten bored of all 70 channels (as I would), and you need something new, here’s a quick walkthrough on how to spice things up.

First things first, when we say “change,” it’s not in its literal sense, as you can’t get rid of (change) the existing base channels, but you can select and change any channel you like from an overwhelming list of available premium channels. It gets better; when acquiring new channels, you do not need to change or upgrade your current existing YouTube TV subscription plan, all you simply need to do is select the channel of your choice, add it to your list and pay a small monthly fee JUST for that channel.

Let’s say you want to rewatch the entire Game Of Thrones series, for whatever reason (I’m not judging); you can simply add the HBO Max channel for an additional monthly fee of $14.99. You also get access to series like Euphoria, Westworld, Insecure, Watchmen, etc. You get the idea; it’s really that simple.

So the big question: how do I change or swap channels on YouTube TV?
