YouTube TV & Disney: Understanding Your $20 Credit and Channel Outage
A recent dispute between YouTube TV and Disney has left many viewers without access to popular channels.Fortunately, YouTube TV is proactively addressing the situation with a $20 account credit. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening,how the credit works,and what channels are currently unavailable.
Staying Connected to Disney Sports
Even with the current disruption, you can still enjoy most of Disney’s sports programming. Simply sign up for ESPN directly to continue accessing your favorite games and shows. More details are available in the YouTube TV Help Center.
Your $20 Credit: How It Works
YouTube TV is issuing a $20 credit to affected subscribers as a gesture of goodwill. The request of this credit depends on how you pay for your youtube TV subscription:
* Direct Billing: If you pay YouTube TV directly, simply tap the blue ”Claim credit” button. The $20 will then be applied to your next bill.
* Third-Party Billing (Google Play or other provider): If you’re billed through Google Play or another provider, the credit will be automatically applied to your account. You can confirm this by visiting tv.youtube.com/settings/billing.
What Does This Mean for the Future?
Google initially announced the $20 credit on October 30th, contingent on a prolonged absence of Disney content. The issuance of this credit suggests the negotiations aren’t progressing quickly. This situation is understandably frustrating for viewers who rely on these channels.
