I have YouTube TV which really has a good channel line up almost everything I could want, except for one channel I like .Lifetime TV. I had the option to download the app, but because neither YouTube TV or my Internet company is listed as an option I can't watch it I tried on the phone too, same deal. I really want to watch Lifetime, but am not going to pay extra for it. Have you had an issue with not being to watch a network you like?

@snowy22315 NFL Network gets you a few games in the year other channels don’t have, and I like that too.

I currently have everything I like to watch on Hulu and a few other streaming services that we have. Lifetime is one of the channels I get through Hulu.
I know it's frustrating when there's a specific channel you want to watch and you can't get it without paying extra.

Yeah, my original plan was to get Hulu with Live TV, but they were driving me nuts with the sign up. Besides YouTube was a little cheaper. It's not now however.

@snowy22315 I remember when I used to complain about the prices of cable & internet. Now the steaming services keep raising their prices and it's not so affordable anymore. It's getting to be a pain to have to subscribe to different services to be able to watch what you want.

Nope. I watch free stuff on YT and on . If I can't find something on those two sites, I read a book.

Yeah I hated giving up Hallmark Movies and Mysteries when I moved here. But I'm ok with it.

@snowy22315 There is a podcast that talked Gypsy Blanchard on youtube. I also would like to see some documentaries, but I can't see them because I don't have the network they are on.

My smart tv has an option to get connected to YouTube but have yet to.

That is definitely frustrating since YouTube TV has almost everything else you want. It’s annoying when a single channel is missing, but then it’s even worse when the app won’t let you watch it either. It does not make sense to pay more just for one network. I also had similar issues with certain streaming services. I ended up searching for shows on other platforms or waiting for them to be available elsewhere. Have you checked if we could get free episodes on the internet or another streaming service? It might not be the full experience, but it still could be a good workaround. Hopefully, YouTube TV would add Lifetime so that we do not need to deal with this challenge!

No, that is a good suggestion though. I don't think the movies would be, because they want people buying them from them, but some episodes of the TV progrms might be. Thanks.
