About WHYTV: Youtube TV with the feel of antenna TV

WHYTV is a sidebar extension that mimics the feel of old-school antenna TV. You can configure up to 13 channels from your YouTube TV account and dial through them like it's 1975 again. Update color, contrast, brightness, and hue with metallic dials. Add a vintage feel with a "tracking" sidebar as well. While it's just for fun, it also FEELS nicer. Since each channel is just a Chrome tab, going between new channels is snappy. There's no latency, lag, waiting for the channel to load. WHYTV brings back the immediacy of antenna TV.
