YouTube TV makes it easier than ever to catch all of your favorite live TV programming, from sports to news to game shows and more. You can watch YouTube TV on your computer, phone, tablet, or of course on a Smart TV (or a regular TV fitted with a Roku or Chromecast, to name just a few streaming devices).

And if you can't find any live programming you love, just dip into YouTube TV's vast trove of video content. 

Here's the thing: that live and archived media? It comes at a price — namely $49.99 a month. If you feel you're not getting your money's worth from YouTube TV, then cancel the subscription and say goodbye to YouTube TV and hello to having more cash on hand.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Roku Ultra (From $99.99 at Best Buy)

Google Chromecast (From $35 at Best Buy)

Macbook Pro (From $1,299 at Best Buy)

Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (From $999 at Best Buy)

iPhone 11 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

Note when your pause ends, charges will then resume. If you decide that you don't miss YouTube TV, you should cancel your subscription before that happens.  Isabella Paoletto/Business Insider
