Although a simple interface is one of YouTube TV’s best qualities, not all of its features and capabilities are obvious from the outset, so I rounded up some of my favorite tricks and tips. Hit this link to read them all.

I gave my local PBS stations a spin earlier this week and was satisfied with the results. Channels stream at a smooth 60 frames per second, and there’s a selection of on-demand programming along with DVR capabilities. A separate PBS Kids feed is available as well, and I was pleasantly surprised to see both the Dayton and Lexington stations being served alongside my local station in Cincinnati. You can check local availability through this PBS page, or plug your zip code into the YouTube TV website.

TiVo’s big merger: On Thursday, TiVo announced a $3 billion merger deal with Xperi, a patent and technology licensing company. TiVo’s been looking to sell itself for a while now, but what’s notable here is that the company won’t be splitting apart its product and patent licensing businesses as previously planned. As TechCrunch reports, TiVo and Xperi plan to combine their respective businesses, then sell the product piece later. In other words, the deal is largely motivated by patent licensing, not products.

Even before the merger news, TiVo had been more interested in licensing its product to pay TV providers–and monetizing their customers through things like pre-roll DVR ads–than selling directly to customers. For TiVo users, the patent-focused merger means a lot more uncertainty over what already seems to be a deteriorating consumer product. I am planning to meet with TiVo at the Consumer Electronics Show next month, so hopefully that’ll be a chance to get some clarity.

AirTV’s new tuner: AirTV is officially announcing its second-generation networked TV tuner after it quietly appeared on Amazon last month. This is a $100 box that connects to any antenna, then streams over-the-air channels into the Sling TV app on Roku, Fire TV, and Android TV devices. (Both AirTV and Sling TV are subsidiaries of Dish Network, which explains the tie-in.) You can also plug in an external hard drive to record broadcast channels.

The AirTV 2 doesn’t appear to be a major upgrade over the original, but it has a slicker design and support for 802.11ac Wi-Fi (or Wi-Fi 5, as they call it now), which should allow more consistent streaming performance if you have an 802.11ac router. I’ll be disappointed if there are no video or audio quality improvements, though, as the original couldn’t deliver 60 frames per second or Surround Sound. Stay tuned for a proper review.

A universal streaming guide: JustWatch is one of several websites you can use to browse for movies and shows across multiple streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and HBO Now. As of this week, it’s also available as an app on Apple TV, Android TV, and Fire TV devices, where it essentially functions as a TV guide for streaming services. After launching the app, you pick the services you use, and it makes suggestions on what to watch. Once you make a selection, it takes you straight to the movie or show listing in the appropriate app so you can start watching.

Unfortunately, the TV apps don’t yet allow you to create or sign into an account, so you can’t set up a watchlist or get personalized recommendations like you can on JustWatch’s website and mobile apps. It’s a fine start, though, and with improvements, it could effectively replace the home screen on your streaming devices.

Speaking of Amazon, you can also get the Fire TV Stick 4K for $35, which is $10 higher than Black Friday pricing, but still a decent deal. And if you add Showtime to an Amazon Prime subscription on or after December 23, you’ll get 50% off for three months. That brings the Showtime price to $5.50 per month.
