I have a Roku TV, and 2 other Roku devices. I will be switching all my streaming devices and getting Apple TV or Google Chromcast since Roku thought it was a good idea to remove YouTube TV! These 💩 companies make decisions for their viewers, well we don’t have to buy their products! And, they still have it advertised that YouTube TV is included - this is false advertising. Class action to come!
It’s because Roku TV has integrated YouTubeTV into the regular YouTube app now. Apple TV has a separate YouTube TV app, but Roku TV has it both in one. I just set it up last week for my dad on his Roku TV. It’s nice because he doesn’t have to exit YouTube to get YouTube TV. On the left hand side, scroll down to the TV module and you’ll have the full YouTube TV app access. It’s a twofer.
Oddly enough, that was true back in 2021 as well. Even when Roku and YouTube TV had their public dispute, you could go into the YouTube app, and view YouTube TV. But then the dispute ended and now you can get to YouTube TV both ways. It’s not much a of lockout when you leave the side door open, but I’m sure they had their reasons. 😀
I have never had the TYTV app installed, just the standard YouTube. When I look at the Roku channel store YouTube TV is shown as available. But as others have already noted, it is also available directly within the YouTube "normal" channel.
I also just checked the channel store directly with my Ultra 4800. YouTube TV is available there as well.
Use the YouTube app on Roku TV. It’s not a separate app for Roku like the others anymore, it’s integrated. It works, I set it up last week.
It appears to be there when I look:

How are you determining that it was removed?
I think OP is looking on their RokuTV, and the new instructions for YouTube Tv install on Roku Tv is to just use the YouTube app. It’s a new module on the left side so it’s a two in one app. I just set it up for my dad last week.
Because I just bought a new device and it was in fact removed on new devices. If you have it on an older device it will remain, but new devices no longer have it installed.
What new device are you talking about? I have a Roku Express 4K+, which is a fairly new device. I don't use YouTube TV so I don't have it installed. But I just checked the Channel Store and it's available to install.
Hold on there. My youtube app is working fine albeit I do not pay for youtube TV.
