Sadly, that’s not the whole story. Around the country, YouTube TV subscribers are finding that they can no longer watch the regional Fox Sports networks they were getting before. In some cases, subscribers have lost all regional sports coverage, yet they’re paying the same $50 per month as subscribers in other parts of the state or region, where the same team coverage remains available.

Bear in mind that I wrote this week’s column before the NBA, NHL, MLB, and NCAA all suspended or delayed their seasons due to the coronavirus, rendering the availability of live supports moot for the time being. But once the world returns to normalcy, YouTube TV will either be the best live TV streaming service for sports or one that sports fans should avoid. It all depends on where you live.

While Google’s been telegraphing plans to launch its own Android TV device for some time, the real news here is the branding. If Hall’s report is correct, Google may believe that Chromecast resonates more with people than its other hardware brands, which include Pixel phones and Nest speakers. But I can also see the idea backfiring if too many folks associate Chromecast with no remote—specially if the remote-free Chromecast remains available.

Anyway, it’s still unclear what the device might cost, which is really the main question. The current Chromecast Ultra costs $70, which is $20 more than Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K and Roku’s Streaming Stick+. If Google’s streaming dongle can’t match or beat their pricing, it could be dead on arrival.

More subscription sharing trickery: Last month, I wrote about a website called Jam, which helps makes sharing your streaming passwords safer and easier. Now, another subscription-sharing tool has popped up, and it doesn’t involve sharing passwords at all. With the DoNotPay Chrome extension, you can generate links for your services and send them to friends or family members. If they have the same extension installed, DoNotPay will log them into your account when they open the link. It’s a more elegant solution than Jam, but it is relegated to web browsers; the only way to get videos onto your TV from there is via a Chromecast dongle.

If you’re wondering how subscription providers might feel about this whole concept, here’s a clue: After I covered DoNotPay’s launch for Fast Company this week, the extension was removed from the Chrome Web Store, apparently because one service complained after its name showed up in a screenshot. You can still manually install the extension, but whether it’ll be welcome again in Google’s official extension repository is unclear.

Plex perks up live TV: If you have a Plex setup for over-the-air DVR, you might have noticed some improvements this week. Plex says says live channel tuning and switching are both three times faster than before, and the grid guide is more responsive. I can’t say I’ve noticed the speed boost in tuning, which seems to take upwards of six seconds per channel on my Nvidia Shield TV-based server, but the guide does seem nice and snappy. There’s also one tangible improvement: You can now access recently-watched channels straight from the home screen.

Anyway, I’m telling you all this because you can currently lock in a 90-day free trial ahead of Quibi’s April 6 launch. Just head to the Quibi website and drop in your email address. This does give Quibi permission to send you marketing emails, so you might want to use a secondary email address or set up a plus sign filter in Gmail in case things get spammy.
