Hi there! Yes, YouTube TV absolutely lets you record, but it works a little differently than old-school DVRs. Instead of storing files on a physical box, it uses cloud DVR. The really cool part is it’s unlimited storage, so you don’t have to worry about deleting older stuff to make space. You can record entire series with one click, and every future episode automatically gets saved in your library. For sports, you can even record “teams” so all their games land in your DVR. I tested it when I first subscribed—I recorded the NBA Finals, plus an entire sitcom season, and it all showed up neatly in my account. The recordings stay available for 9 months, so you’ve got plenty of time to watch them. One downside? You can’t fast-forward through commercials on on-demand versions, but recordings usually let you. Overall, the feature is one of the biggest reasons people choose YouTube TV.

Press and hold the side button plus either volume button until the slider appears. Swipe to shut down. Or go to Settings > General > Shut Down if you don’t want to use hardware buttons.

Laptop extenders come in flavors: USB-C portable monitors, clip-on multi-screen setups, or classic HDMI monitors. I’d suggest a portable monitor if you’re mobile. They’re affordable, light, and plug-and-play. Clip-ons are nice but pricey. HDMI desktop monitors are best for permanent home setups.

I used to stress about this too. Sadly, Instagram doesn’t offer a “hide followers” option. If your profile is public, anyone can see the list. Going private makes it visible only to your approved followers. What I did was clean up my follower list and remove people I didn’t want snooping. It’s not perfect, but it helped. If you’re worried about a few specific accounts, restricting or blocking them works. Hopefully Instagram adds more privacy controls down the line.
