pinkoos Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hello, Does anybody use YouTube TV with their Control4 system? We're thinking about cutting the cord in conjunction with our system hardware upgrade we're working on and considering to just use YouTube TV. We currently have two Tivos (XL and Premiere) that distribute to 4 TVs in the house. We have an old 3rd generation Apple TV. I already spoke with Comcast about getting rid of the TV part of our package and just having an internet only plan. For YouTube TV, I'm guessing we would need more than one device (ie, Apple TV, Chromecast or whatever) if we want to be able to watch two different (or three different) channels simultaneously on different TVs. Is this correct? I know that YouTube TV allows 3 "streams" at the same time, but if I want to distribute these streams to different TVs at the same time, they would need to be originating from separate devices, right? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatheed Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Correct. You would need two Rokus for two TVs watching two separate programs. YouTube TV is my primary watch source, I just use my Xbox One in my family room primarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkoos Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks for the reply. Do you distribute to your TVs via a matrix or do you have them locally connected to your TVs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHar Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 thegreatheed - are you using the C4 app to control YouTube TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aptiii Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Has anyone had experience using Control4 remotes to fast forward/rewind YouTube TV? If so then on what platform. I like YouTube TV but find it frustrating to skip around in programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkoos Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 We use YouTube TV on Apple TV 4K and have no problem using the Control4 remote (the directional keypad) to fast forward or rewind Of course, you can't scrub so easily or quickly as you can if you use the original Apple TV 4K remote via the touchpad, but otherwise the Control4 remote works find What exactly are you finding frustrating? Maybe we can help more if you provide more details of the issue you're having Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
