Before I had YTTV, i watched most of my shows live, without a DVR. Whenever I missed an episode, i would purchase that single episode on what was then Google Play Movies and Tv. For example, i purchased the first three episodes of The Good Doctor. I got YTTV just before season 2 started, and now recording season 2 and 3 in there.
When I now click on "my library" in the chromecast with Google TV interface, and select "the good doctor" under shows, it only shows the three episodes i once purchased on Google play Movies and TV. Isn't it very strange that my YTTV recordings are not integrated here? Very annoying!
Same applies to "movies" under "my library". Wouldn't it be nice if it merged all recorded movies on YTTV with the GPM purchases? (Or even better: also any movies we have on our Netflix or HBO Max or Amazon prime etc. watchlist? I can understand that working with these third parties would be difficult... But not integrating there YTTV library here? Really?
Yeah, I think it's a missed opportunity on Google's part to basically have some sort of merger of the two services.
Mind you, considering their branding changes so far in 2020, I'd rather they left it well alone and don't screw around and create a headache for more people.
