Tell HN: Google is deleting people's recorded TV shows from YouTube TV
Google just sent out this announcement about YouTube TV: > We have been informed that G4TV is ceasing operations for all distributors. Starting November 9, 2022, the G4 channel will no longer be available on YouTube TV. You will also lose access to any previous Library recordings from this channel.

How is this any different than that?
