Activating a device on tv.youtube.com/start itself does not incur any additional cost. However, it's important to note that to access YouTube TV's content, you need to have a YouTube TV subscription.
YouTube TV is a subscription-based service that offers live TV channels, DVR capabilities, and on-demand content. You need to subscribe to YouTube TV and pay the monthly subscription fee to access its features. The cost of the subscription varies depending on your location and any promotional offers that may be available at the time.
When you activate a device on tv.youtube.com/start, you're simply linking that device to your existing YouTube TV subscription. You won't be charged specifically for activating the device, but you will need to maintain an active subscription to continue using YouTube TV on that device.
So, while there's no direct cost associated with the activation process itself, you'll need to have a YouTube TV subscription to enjoy its features on the activated device.
The activation code provided to link your device to YouTube TV is typically valid for a limited time, usually around 5 minutes to 10 minutes. After this period, the code may expire, and you'll need to generate a new one if you haven't completed the activation process within that time frame. Expired codes are no longer usable, so it's important to activate your device promptly after obtaining the code. If the code expires, you can usually generate a new one by following the same process in the YouTube TV app on your device.
