Google Fiber TV adding YouTube App

Google has begun adding a YouTube app to Google Fiber TV boxes this month.  Thus far my Google Fiber TV box doesn’t show a YouTube app yet, but I’ll be watching for it.

The YouTube app will join the Netflix, Vudu and Weather apps on the TV boxes.  I noticed the addition of YouTube thanks to a Google Fiber Groups discussion that pointed me to the Help page that describes a YouTube app

I imagine Google will use this as another outlet for their paid YouTube content that we don’t hear much about right now, but I imagine will become a bigger push from Google in the future.
