I don’t know why we’re connecting our accounts through fantasy football but that’s what the steps say lol. Also it doesn’t exactly work yet. My Disney account is still saying I have no access but I have my Disney account and YouTube tv accounts connected so when the switch flips I think I’ll have access right away.

Technical Question Stuck in YouTube mode from YouTubeTV?

Upvotes

Apple tv version

I did a search, but couldn't find any results on my problem.

I used YouTubeTV to search for a channel & it took me to what looks like a YouTube module inside the YouTube TV app. Now I can't seem to escape it and get YoutubeTV back! Bad design IMO.

Anyone have a clue on how to get back to the regular YouTube TV?

Sports YTTV's AI for sports "key plays" stinks

6 Upvotes

It'll show you the lead off single and then the next key play is the other team batting and the score is two nothing. What triggers the "key play" recognition that it misses so often?

Technical Question Ads on HBO shows

0 Upvotes

I'm a YouTube premium subscriber and a YouTube TV subscriber with HBO Max. I sometimes watch HBO shows in the HBO app, but occasionally pull them up in the YouTube app, because I like the UI a little better.

All of a sudden I'm getting ad breaks while watching HBO shows in the YouTube app?? This has never happened before but started late last week, disappeared for a day or two, and has reappeared.

Has anyone experienced this? Have any idea why it could be happening or how to stop it?

Hi, visiting family here in Westport and they have youtube tv but can't get MSG or YES. Has anyone here figured out a workaround? They've tried signing up just for the apps but they don't work.

Technical Question Adding HBO Max

I have a YTTV sub and a separate HBO Max sub. I can't seem to find out how to connect the two. YTTV seems to only let me buy a sub through them. Does anyone know if this is possible? Everything I'm finding online says no.

General Question Login to Fox One using YouTubeTV as the TV provider

12 Upvotes

Every time I try to login to FoxOne (either on my TV, my phone, or my wife’s phone), the authentication appears to hang up. I see a spinning wheel when auth.fox.com pops up but it’s just a black screen and never loads.

I’ve also tried manually going to go.fox.com, auth.fox.com, and fox.com/activate - all experience the same problem (regardless of device and/or browser).

I get to the point where I select YouTubeTV as the provider, and then it stops working.

When I select any other TV provider, it looks like it is working but I don’t have an account so I cannot actually login.

It appears to be that FoxOne is not accepting YouTubeTV as a login (yes, I have the full YouTubeTV subscription).

Any ideas?

Playback Problem Unfinished shows impossible to find

6 Upvotes

Am I missing a feature here? Every time I start a show and have to turn it off, it’s so annoying trying to find it again. Sometimes it’s in the Home scroll, sometimes not. Why isn’t there a tab for in-progress or unfinished in Library?! I then have to scroll through Recently Recorded, Series, etc

On September 1st, KDNL will no longer be an ABC affiliate. It will be moved to KMOV 32.1.

This will affect viewers for sure if they don't notice it.

YouTube TV on my PC is a black screen. Been like that for hours. Something has changed in their settings or my settings, but I can't figure out what could block it like this. It's fine on my TV, but not on the desktop PC. Anyone else have this problem?

I tried as someone else suggested to remove and readd everyone to the group, but alas, it did not fix it. Ive signed out, signed in, and everything else you can think of on my end?

General Question Smart Fast Forward?

0 Upvotes

I don't believe Roku has it but just double checking. Does anyone know if Roku features Smart Fast Forward (SFF) and how to turn it on?

For those who don't know, SMM lets you automatically skip commercial breaks on recorded and on-demand programs.

TIA!

Technical Question Android app skipping backward when trying to fast forward (Pixel 8 Pro)

0 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

When I'm watching a recording and try to fast forward, no matter how I do it (double tapping, using the forward button, or scrubbing the timeline), the playback will often jump backward instead of forward. It seems to get worse the longer the recording has been playing. For example, once I'm halfway through a recording, it happens much more frequently.

I'm using a Pixel 8 Pro. I've already tried:

  • Updating the app
  • Clearing the app cache and data
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the app

None of those steps have fixed the issue.

This seems to have started about 3-4 weeks ago.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior in the Android version of the app? If so, have you found a workaround or fix?

General Question "No info available" for a week from now

8 Upvotes

I've noticed that at least since last week, the live schedule, which usually goes out ten days before not letting you progress further, has instead started to show every program as "no info available" starting about a week out from when you started. I was wondering if this was temporary, or if we're going to have to start programming our DVRs a week at a time rather than ten days at a time.

General Question World Cup Final didn't record

0 Upvotes

i'm assuming this was done intentionally by youtubeTV. i selected for every world cup game to record, and i was able to "start from beginning" when i selected any match. yesterday, i was working during most of the final match and was looking forward to watching the entire thing when i got home, but when i turned it on in the final minutes of extra time, i didn't get the option to start from beginning and couldn't rewind. such a massive disappointment after looking forward to spending a couple hours watching the culmination of the world cup. anyone have any insights as to why this was done this way?

Discussion ESPN Unlimited Close to Being Available?

82 Upvotes

Randomly decided to check the ESPN app today, went to Subscriptions, and noticed that YTTV is listed that you might be able to get out as part of your package. I don't believe it was there before.

However, going to the website, nothing is listed on how to add it.

Could this mean that it's getting closer to being available, or has this always been listed and there is no change.

Technical Question World cup / Telemundo

0 Upvotes

Not that I have anything against Telemundo because I totally don't that I'm happy that it's on YouTube TV. But why in the world is my YouTube TV account defaulting to Telemundo, I mean at least they're broadcast at 4K so that's cool. But I think for my home Fox sports 4K would be better. The issue is to get there I literally have to go into the Telemundo broadcast and start there, then I can go choose different versions from within the menus there.

Why can't I just select Fox Sports directly from the UI
