Google has updated its YouTube TV and Google Home products, giving them the ability to speak with one another.
Going forward, YouTube TV subscribers will be able to control YouTube TV on their television set via Google Home.
People will need to link their YouTube TV account with their Google Home (or Chromecast). Once that step is complete, they can utter requests such as “Play last week’s ‘NCIS’” or “Play the MLB game” and Google Home will take care of the rest.
YouTube TV costs $35 per month and is available in many U.S. cities. Television stations are limited to about 50 in total, though that includes live broadcasts from most major networks. Google Home and Chromecast are additional hardware purchases.
