Tips for Location Change for YouTube TV Subscribers

  • You can only change your home area twice every 12 months. You have to be physically in your new home area to update your home area in YouTube TV.
  • If you travel outside of your home area, you can view local programs in the location you travel to, but you can’t record anything outside of your home area. When you travel outside of your home area, you can’t watch local networks airing in your home area.
  • If you’re a frequent traveler, make sure to use YouTube TV at least once every 3 months in your home area. This check in ensures you will continue to get the correct local networks.
