    Hi there, thank you for replying.

    I did update everything, as I mentioned in the original post.

    In any case,

    I found that there are actually 4 separate places to make changes to, so that the live TV continues streaming uninterrupted.

    In ROKU stick

    1. Disable screensaver timeout (settings-theme-screensaver)

    2. Disable Bandwidth saver (settings-network-bandwidth saver)

    3. Disable auto power savings (settings-system-power-auto power savings)

    In Youtube TV app

    4. Auto-pause settings (change from 4hrs to 24hrs)

    Hope this helps someone with the same issue.

     

    Thank you.
