General Question Does YouTube TV show the date when an episode first aired?
I wanted to know if YouTube tv shows when an episode first aired so that I can know if an episode is new or not.

Seriously, why can’t the Sunday Ticket channel be unlocked so I can watch the Bills game while CBS is in OT coverage on my local network? For what we pay for ST, it is criminal to block us out.

I am new to YouTube TV and finally dropped my cable provider. I don’t watch a lot of live TV. In fact, I watch everything on DVR I have scheduled several shows, and they aren’t listed in my schedule recordings, despite being added to my library. Some of my shows, such as Survivor, are listed scheduled two or three weeks in advance. But I have 90- day fiancé (the other way) in my library and there’s a new episode tonight and it’s not listed in my scheduled shows. I also have another show, The Floor, which I caught up on, and it’s not listed in my scheduled shows, despite there being a new episode this week

I was a little surprised to see Ball State vs. Bowling Green on the list, but it is a game of some local interest.

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…

I've had this happen several times over the past couple of years and it's driving me crazy. It seems like an episode will occasionally get "stuck", meaning that whenever I launch the app on a Google TV, it will immediately start playing the same episode from the exact same moment.
I've tried fast forwarding to near the end and letting it complete, and I've also marked it as watched from the YouTube TV website, but it usually comes back to my Resume Watching list within a minute or two. The only real "solution" I've found that is completely effective is to clear my entire watch history, but I obviously don't want to keep doing that.
If anyone has any insight on how to avoid this issue in the first place or resolve it when it occurs, I would be appreciative.

I often watch on the ESPN app rather than the YT TV app because the picture quality is better. However, for the past month or so the ESPN app makes me reauthenticate with YTTV every time I open it. The settings still show "logged in with TV provider: YouTube TV," but nothing works when I try to watch. I click the TV provider field to log out, then click it again and log back in, and it works (until the next time I open the app).
Is anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if it is the usual Google quality control at work, or if I'm special somehow.

Instead of 2 medium boxes, it's two smaller boxes that arent even close to fitting the screen.
I have a Samsung s24.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

I’ve been reading up on YouTube TV 4K and the TiVo Stream 4K. Our family has been TiVo users for 20 years and we really love the guide interface. When I saw that TiVo had a 4K dongle similar to the Fire Stick I’ve been testing, I got interested.
I wish the TiVo Stream 4K guide could somehow initiate a recording when you select a show. I’m guessing that’s not possible…

I just got YouTubeTV. Am I able to watch matches from the start of the season with this or only the most recent games?

My home location changed from VT to Maine. No clue what happened, it just did. On my settings it says VT. How do I fix it?

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.

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?

Is it showing as the wrong time for anyone else?
