Although it has been around for more than four years, Google-owned Youtube TV didn’t have some essential feature, the ability to stream in 4K. That is now history, as a new YouTube TV 4K Plus Add-On has been released, which will make it possible, assuming you have a compatible TV and streaming device.
YouTube TV 4K Plus Devices
When you’re at home, 4K Plus lets you stream YouTube TV from an unlimited number of devices equal to unlimited streams. The basic YouTube TV package can stream to three different devices at the same time, but if you have a large household that relies solely on that service, 4K Plus should ensure that no one loses access to the network.
The 4K Plus add-on also includes the ability to download video footage to a mobile phone or tablet and watch it offline, a feature that should come quite handy for people as they start traveling more again this summer. You can download as many movies and tv shows as you want but you can keep them on your device only for 30 days without check in online.
