According to a new report, YouTube TV is getting a major DVR upgrade that will allow you to navigate directly to specific spots in recorded programs. It finally makes watching shows you've recorded easier and improves one of the best live TV streaming services.

The new feature is available for YouTube TV subscribers now, according to Cord Cutters News. They highlighted how it might work with a news show like ABC World News Tonight, where you could skip individual news segments.

Apparently, the section skipping feature is currently only available with select programs. ABC World News Tonight is one such example. For now, it seems the feature is mainly for programs that split evenly into standalone segments, like the daily news.

Beyond this report, I could not find anything official directly from YouTube announcing the new feature. I've reached out to YouTube for confirmation and more details on the alleged upgrade.

We will update that article once YouTube responds.
