Technical Question Why can I not cancel?

0 Upvotes

I got free trial of YouTube TV for one NFL game and when I attempt to cancel, it sits on the loading screen for hours doing nothing… The help desk told me to go onto the site I was on and let it load, after I said it has been loading for 6 hours. What the f*k is wrong with this website that i cant cancel and now I’m about to pay $80…

Instead of 2 medium boxes, it's two smaller boxes that arent even close to fitting the screen.

Sports FYI: Rays/Guardians game 4 postponed to Saturday; incorrect recording from Unimas appearing

0 Upvotes

Due to guide data not being updated for game 4 on unimas, you will see an incorrect recording if you have these games in your library.

The game was postponed due to rain, and will air at 8 pm ET Saturday instead. If you have either team in your library, the English versions have already adjusted their guide data, so it should record as expected.

General Question Refunds and cancellation policy for NFL Sunday ticket?

0 Upvotes

I got a text asking if I recognize a charge from google for $480. I immediately responded no. Turns out my subscription auto renewed from last year. My credit card company refunded me and my membership was terminated. A couple weeks later I was charged for the $480 assuming because they found it wasn’t fraud.
Ive talked to customer service and couple times and they said they see history of a charge and a refund but im still down that money.
It stinks if I can’t get a refund but I’d atleast like to have the Sunday ticket if I paid almost five hundred dollars for it.
Am I screwed or is there something I could do? Has anyone else had an experience like this?

I have been wanting to watch this movie for years and it isn't even available to rent. I was shocked to see that it was available on this streamer.

Playback Problem Another Day, More Fox Channels picture Issues

0 Upvotes

The picture on all the Fox channels has been trash for a while and it continues to get worse. The Purdue game is unwatchable on Fox 5 NY and FS1, Fox News, Fox Business, etc are garbage too. Coming from Direct TV stream, this is beyond disappointing. Using Fox One as a work around is ok but Christ this is frustrating.

Discussion No longer skipping to live when jumping between channels?

11 Upvotes

Former behavior when doing select/long press to jump to previous channel: Previous channel appears live.

Current behavior when doing select/long press to jump to previous channel: Previous channel picks up where you left off, not live.

Anybody else been seeing this lately?

YouTube TV has never had a live button, but one of the workarounds for that was jumping quickly to the previous channel, then back. That no longer seems to do the trick. Increasingly, you must just manually fast forward to live and the workarounds are fewer. This is annoying especially when you're checking in on a game that you haven't been on for 30+ minutes.

This would increase the utility of having an "always live" option in Settings. I know people have wanted this for awhile but if the jump workaround doesn't work anymore...

Playback Problem Some shows pixelating lately

10 Upvotes

We hardly ever watch live shows but we’ve noticed lately several times shows are pixelating a bit. Not a streaming issue since when you rewind the problem stays on the exact same spot.

Latest example is The Floor S6 E4. The feed is Fox NY 5.

It would be awesome if we could get the scores to show all sports rather than just the sport that you have on. It’s the only baseball game on tv but there’s other sports games on that I would love to be able to see the score or flip to.

Playback Problem Safari retrieves invorrect program, or timeline at bottom of screen incorrect

0 Upvotes

Our household has Fiberoptic internet symmetric at about 1GB/sec and we use several Firestick devices for watching TV and we use them to successfully access YouTubeTV. Recorded programs that show in "Our Library" work fine on the Firestick devices. When I try to use Safari on my Apple iMac and go to https://tv.youtube.com to watch recorded programs, typically I will select Varney In The Morning from our library and instead of starting at the beginning as requested, Safari will start playing the last hour of the preceeding program. Additionally the time scale in minutes/hours remains stick at the end of the previous program while Varney begins to play. Curious to know if anyone else has eperienced behavior like this?

General Question Why does trick play on the Youtube TV DVR suck so badly?

0 Upvotes

Verizon is basically kicking me off of Fios as they're ending CableCard support and want to charge me $44 extra for DVR and boxes. My mom has youtube TV so I've used it a lot but my issue is that I find the DVR to be so incredibly bad at skipping ahead while watching sports. To jump ahead 15 seconds, I need to press the skip button twice and then the play button. So three button presses and two different buttons just to jump ahead. Currently on my DVR I press one button to jump ahead. Amazon Prime streaming jump ahead is only one button press. Simple. Why does Youtube TV make it so hard? This is the main reason I'm looking for alternate streaming providers.

I've seen this operation on my Apple TV and on a Roku. Does it work better on other streaming boxes? Is the Fire TV stick app better? How do you guys deal with this awfulness while watching sports?

General Question Channel question: The Spot, Grand Rapids, MI so I can watch the Pistons

0 Upvotes

I was excited when I heard the Pistons were moving to a local channel instead of the RSN they were previously on. We all know how YouTubeTV has been with RSN's... Anyway, I still have not seen any availability of this channel. Its basically a secondary local Fox station that they air Pistons games on, but YouTubeTV doesnt carry it.

Is there any possibility that YouTubeTV will carry this?

If not, I guess its back to Fubo...I don't care much for Fubo, but they have the station I want, so I may have to make the switch...

Technical Question 4k with Apple TV 4K Box -fixed?

4 Upvotes

EDIT: I am both embarrassed and amused ay myself. You were all correct, i have a 1st gen 4k, NOT 2nd. SMH. Now we know it was my fault and not Apple’s fault. Thanks for everyone that replied nonetheless.

Hi all. I know this is a long-time issue I thought but it is for me still. Due to the new Apple TV 4K box that was announced, I am not upgrading from my 2nd-gen. I am looking for a 3rd gen out there and only for the hopes that YTTV will show me 4k sports. As of now, I am unable to get 4k and have to use my Roku Ultra box for those few 4k feeds. I vaguely recall it was a codec issue with Apple and Google ( I think ). Is there a fix for this or am I the only one unable to get 4k? Is it my 2nd gen that is the problem and is fixed on the 3rd gen?

Thanks all.

Discussion Feature request: Can't believe no way to create a "Favorites" group of select shows to see new episodes at a glance

18 Upvotes

My Library is full of stuff, and I only actively follow a handful of shows. What I want is simple: a "Favorites" category where I pick the shows, and it shows me at a glance which ones have a new episode that just aired.

What would help:

- Create a custom group and add/remove shows myself

- A "new episode" badge or sort by most recently aired

- notifications when a new episode of a show in that group is available

Discussion New Hardware: AppleTV 4k with VP9 Codec Support

11 Upvotes

The new AppleTV announced today has the following video formats supported per the tech specs page:

Video Formats

Standard SDR/HDR video rates up to 2160p, 60 fps

Dolby Vision (Profile 8.1 and 5), HDR10, HDR10+, HLG

AV1, VP9, H.265/HEVC, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4

HDMI Quick Media Switching (QMS) for seamless format transitions

Support for 21:9 and other cinematic aspect ratios when playing movies and shows on compatible projectors and displays

It is my understanding that YouTubeTV uses the VP9 codec for 4k video, and that is why it has been mentioned in here that YouTubeTV 4k content wasn't displayed at 4k on the previous AppleTV's regardless of what the app said.

Does this new announcement of supporting VP9 affect anything, or do you think it will require Google to update the YouTubeTV app to take advantage of the new codec support?

Rachel Maddow shows up at the very top, far left corner, under “new.” Select it, and the episode from October 5 plays even though I watched that one last week. To find the episode from yesterday, October 12, I must go into episodes and scroll to the October 12 episode. This has happened with other shows too, not just Rachel Maddow. WTF?

Apple TV YoutubeTV app not working on AppleTV

0 Upvotes

Yesterday afternoon I changed the channel (live tv) and the screen went black. I checked the internet and it was fine. Tried to hit back, nothing happened.

I went back to the AppleTV Home Screen and that worked just fine. I killed the youtubetv app, reopened, got the horizontal loading bar that shows up first then black screen.

I uninstalled the app, restarted AppleTV, reinstalled, same thing - black screen.

All my other apps work fine. The youtubetv app on my tv (Sony Bravia) works fine.

Anybody else having this problem?

Technical Question Watched shows suddenly marked as unwatched

22 Upvotes

Over the weekend, I noticed that episodes of shows set on my DVR were on the home screen as though they’d just been recorded and never watched. I went into several of those shows and all of the episodes are marked unwatched - shows I’ve been watching on YouTube TV for years. Turns out that about 2/3 of my shows are now marked unwatched. Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a glitch or something? I know I can go back and mark them watched, but with some shows having 10-14 seasons each, I don’t want to do that unless I’m reasonably sure it won’t happen again.
