r/youtubetv

Is anyone else having connection problems lately? I haven’t noticed it with any of my other apps, just YouTube TV. 📺 And btw, it’s on both my devices (Google and Roku).

I was watching the RedWings game on the NHL channel (through Sling) and the electric advertising on the boards was showing a YouTube TV ad touting thier NHL coverage. I got excited because I thought maybe they finally carried it but it still looks like they don't. 😞

I always click on a college football game and have no idea if I’m getting skycast or not. Not sure why it’s an even a thing, genuinely why would I want to watch that over the regular broadcast for normal viewing. Anyways it’s getting annoying and wish I could easily switch the view once I click on it instead of having to find the other broadcast.

Anyone else experience this?

Edit - Solved: Thanks everyone. Known AppleTV network issue solved by hard reboot. Really appreciate all the feedback. Taking the issue to Apple next time I can replicate it. Stats for Nerds and Ookla app directly on the box helped identify it.

I have seen lots of posts blaming all sorts of issues with basketball/football streaming on user network issues, broadcasters, etc. I cannot get Youtube TV app on Apple TV 4k to support anything above 480p. Manually switching the setting causes constant pausing/skipping. I won’t bore you with my troubleshooting steps, but assume I am a highly technical user. Network tested great on speedtest right next to the box.

I switched over to the LG native app. Immediately the highest res for FOX San Antonio broadcast on the YouTube TV app - 720p enhanced. I can switch back and forth right now and see the difference.

Before everyone chimes in with “my stream is great!” - I’m not saying this isn’t territory-to-territory based on compression bitrate etc. I’m saying that either the YouTube TV app on AppleTV or AppleTV itself is handling the stream awfully.

If you’ve reported this problem before and been shouted down, you’re not crazy. It’s always been an issue in my region for the 4 yeast I’ve had Youtube TV installed. I just haven’t had the AppleTV on my high res TV before, so I did not care enough to troubleshoot.

For users who experienced this, please recommend services you quietly switched to that worked after getting shouted down by Apple/Google trolls. I’d prefer to stay on the AppleTV box.

Anyone else's Fox feed for the Dallas-Houston game back and forth between sometimes being fine and sometimes looking like you're watching it on a CRT in 1987?

Is there a way to keep the video quality locked at 1080p? I notice that when I change from “Auto” to 1080P it’s fine until I change the channel then it resets to “Auto”. Even when I go back to the channel I set at 1080P it is “Auto” at 720p

I have Roku- do I need YouTube TV to see my local channels and stuff like Court TV and American Horror Story? I’m not into sports or conservative news and it seems like there’s a lot of that…

Just signed up for YTV last month. The NC and Notre Dame game is on the ESPN unlimited channel feed on YTV and it has no announcers? And the primary camera is just the sky cast camera?

AND ITS AMAZING.

Like holy crap, no annoying announcers to listen to, commercials are just white noise, the surround sound is amazing. The sky cam is awesome. It legitimately feels like you’re at the game with the best seat in the house.

Has this always been the case with Unlimited? Does else enjoy these games or just me?

Once again Saturday Night Live recording was cut short due to a sports event running long before it. Please fix the recording and do better in the future. Thanks

Since calling didn't help I figured I'd ask here. The sports Plus package isn't showing up on any of my devices(PC, TV, and mobile). I've tried incognito mode, vpns, and calling support and none have fixed the problem of not being able to find a way to add the package. Has anyone had this problem? If so have you found a way to get it to appear under membership?

Has anyone else noticed that resume is missing? I used to be able to start watching something especially like a sporting event and then go back to it and resume from where I left off. However that doesn't seem to be an option now if I leave the program at all when I go back it's always like watch live or start from beginning.
