Was planning on switching to Youtube TV (not to be confused with regular youtube online videos). I started a free trial. Picture was very nice which was a good surprise for a streaming real time service. My first problem with the sound is no Dolby Digital Surround. Stereo only. That was a disappointment. The sound quality of that stereo was worse than disappointing it was abysmal. It was bright, and harsh, and metallic sounding. It would give you a headache or at least an ear ache in a few minutes time. I almost canceled my other service. So glad I tried the free trial.
This was from a recent Roku streaming stick. It sounds fine on Amazon music or movies or on Netflix or some of the other free channels. So I can only surmise the Youtube TV is the culprit. I could switch to the same channel on satellite TV and sound was alright.
The cloud DVR worked well, and a good selection of programming for a good price, but the sound is so harsh it makes this a non-starter. A complete no go.
Anyone else tried this and found the same thing? I'm getting sound from the Roku over HDMI that is that way, and the same problem using my desktop computer streaming thru a browser window. Why would they do that?
