What They Say
Fierce Video reported that YouTube has been offering free Chromecast or TiVo devices to some subscribers to allow the display of UltraHD content.
“To ensure our loyal YouTube TV members have a great watch experience (including the ability to watch 4K content on our optional new add-on service coming soon!), we want to offer you a free TiVo Stream 4K device,”
the company wrote in an email obtained by 9to5Google.
YouTube TV first announced its 4K option in February. The company didn’t specify a launch date or a price for the add-on 4K package but it say that users will be able to download 4K content to their DVR to watch later offline. The option will also add unlimited concurrent streams at home.
What We Think
There is an on-going dispute between Google and Roku and this move may be related. (BR)
