It’s the latest in a surge of over-the-top (OTT) services trying to woo consumers who never bought into traditional cable television.

For $35 a month, subscribers get all four major networks — ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC — and around 30 of the biggest cable channels. That price covers six accounts, so each member of the household can have a personalized account that offers recommendations tuned to their taste. The kids will have to draw short straws, however, as you can watch up to three concurrent streams at a time.

Sadly, like many other streaming bundles, it has gaps. YouTube TV, as it’s called, will be missing channels from Viacom, including big names like Comedy Central and MTV. It also won’t have programming from Turner Broadcasting, meaning you won’t be able to get CNN, TBS, and TNT. AMC Networks, Discovery Communications, and A+E Networks are also missing as of the launch announcement. ShowTime is available as an add on, but HBO is not. No specific date was given for launch, only that it would roll out in the next few months.

Stream the major networks and have a DVR? That's interesting at least, though I just got TabloTV for Christmas as a DVR for the antenna. So probably not for me, but I'll keep an eye on it.
