The other thing we know about YouTube TV is its price: $35 a month. For comparison, that’s slightly more expensive than Sling TV’s basic $20-per-month package and a few dollars less than PlayStation Vue’s basic $39 package that includes local stations like CBS, NBC, etc…
Cut to the chase
What is YouTube TV? A live TV streaming service like Sling TV
When is it coming out? It's available right now!
How much will it cost? $35 per month, unless you get an add-on package
Where can you watch it? Anywhere in the 83 US markets where it's available
Cloud DVR, if you've never heard that term before, allows you to record your favorite shows as they air and save them, well, to the cloud so that you can watch them later. It’s TiVo, but everything’s online. YouTube TV promises unlimited storage for shows for up to nine months – a serious advantage over the competition which usually only offer 28 days of storage.

That article's a bit out of date, so a few minor quibbles just for the record:
-YouTube TV is $40/month these days
-You can watch up to 3 streams simultaneously on Sling if you're on Blue, but it's restricted to 1 stream on Orange.
-Sling's DVR costs $5/month for 50 hours, but there's no time restriction for how long you can keep them. You can't use it on all the ESPN channels, though - not sure if that's the case of YouTube TV or not.
