If you've been looking to sign up for YouTube TV but just hadn't gotten to it yet — or maybe the seven-day trial just isn't long enough — today's the day. Google and YouTube TV are offering an extended 14-day trial if you sign up before Aug. 14. (Nice spot by Droid Life on this one.)

There is, of course, some fine print. First and most obvious, you need to be a new subscriber. That just makes sense. (You'll also need to not have had a subscription before, which goes back to that whole "first" thing.)

You'll also have to have valid payment when you sign up (which means through Google Pay), but you won't be charged until the trial period ends. After that? It's $49.99 a month. And you'll need to get things going by Aug. 14 to take advantage of any of this.

Here's the full fine print from Google:

Specific Offer Terms: YouTube TV Extended Free TrialThis YouTube TV 14 day trial promotion is open to participants in the United States that live in markets where YouTube TV is available between August 1, 2019 and August 14, 2019.

After that? Enjoy the sweet two weeks of free YouTube. Take the unlimited DVR for a test drive. Kick the tires of the six family accounts. Do all that other stuff it is you do in front of the TV.
