Doesn't look to be available yet, maybe just an announcement?
Will definitely be signing up on the first month to see what it's like and decide from there whether to stick. Looks exciting though, we'll probably see a lot more of this from other providers.
I would say it's US only, you will need a Google US account and VPN.

"The new service will be available later this spring to customers in the US for $35 a month with no contract; that lets up to six users access content whenever they want."

"All in all, the total of "more than 40 networks" is comparable to options like Sling TV and PlayStation Vue, although each service varies (YouTube TV's channel lineup is below)."

I plan to sign up also if my proxy server allows me to get to it. I have a VPN also but it's a bit slow.
If it goes well I would ditch VF cable completely and use OTA for local channels and Google TV for the rest. I would miss Turbo and Food Channel though and unbiased news like BBC or even CNN and only have Fox(!)

What is OTA for FTA? TVNZ via tablet app and 3Now via many apps?
Sorry too many acronyms. OTA = Over the Air = Freeview (HD). I just use a traditional TV with a Freeview Tuner

Well it went live today and I managed to sign up for a free trial. But it's not going to be for me.
Firstly it's not supported by my Proxy service so I needed a VPN to get in. Then the players are somewhat restricted. You need a phone primarily and if you want to watch on a TV you need a Chromecast. They might come out with other clients one day but at the moment it's pretty restricted.

Had to use mock locations paired with a VPN just to get to payment screen, at least it works with my NZ card.
Hopefully with time the DNS providers can add support
good to see cbs on there as sling tv and directv now don't have it
but 1 problem with youtube is a few unblockers can not bypass the geoblock

on mobiles it seems to force you to use gps to let it see your location before sign up.
After one fake it now works for me.
Yes I deliberately didn't post instructions on what I did as I think if you wanted to do it, you would know.
It also works with OpenVPN installed on my Asus router which Getflix say is the fastest VPN but still has an impact on speed.
Well I have a month free trial and if I forget after a month a free Chromecast :-)
Another note. The audio is only Stereo 2.0 which is disappointing.

Couldn't get around the location checks, even with a VPN. Not going to be a thing for me :(
