YouTube TV just gave users a huge 4K upgrade - here's what you need to know

YouTube TV just got a new feature that notifies you when a show or live event you’re watching is also available in 4K streaming – giving you the highest quality images.

As Cordcutter News reports, a small pop-up will appear in the top right corner of your screen if a 4K stream is available for the show you’re watching.

Previously, if you subscribed to the 4K Plus add-on, you had to actively search for 4K content in the app or remember which channels or events would offer this feature. The popup is a simple feature, but it makes searching for 4K shows a breeze and allows you to quickly switch between streams with a quick click.

However, you still need the 4K Plus add-on to actually watch 4K streams, which costs $9.99 per month on top of YouTube TV’s $82.99 plan. Adding 4K Plus provides subscribers with additional benefits beyond 4K playback. It also adds unlimited simultaneous streams and lets you download recordings to watch offline.

YouTube TV has already seen several price increases, most recently the $10 increase to $82.99 that took effect this month.

The new 4K notification feature seems great if you’re looking for 4K content. However, if you don’t pay for the add-on, the new notification is now a not-so-subtle upgrade upsell that could be perceived as annoying.

As with most Google-owned products, the feature is now rolling out to YouTube TV subscribers. If you don’t see the 4K notification, wait a day or two and your account should receive the update soon.
