Although we tried this solution, YouTube TV continues showing errors. After following the process to add the channel, it’s not adding to the channel guide. If you follow through to the customer support page, you’ll encounter the option to wait two hours for a phone call or wait for someone to email you.
Since we don’t have time for that, the best option is to start a free trial of fuboTV. You’ll be able to watch all of today’s NFL RedZone action for free, and enjoy the rest of the fuboTV service for 7 days.
Right now, fuboTV is the only service with RedZone offering a free trial.
