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.
There are many Roku apps and only a fraction come pre-installed. Typically, if you set up a new Roku on the same Roku account as the previous Roku(s), then the same apps automatically download. However, if you have changed Roku accounts, then you will need to download them again.
Or if you mean those 4 buttons on the bottom of remote, those are for advertising (Roku gets paid to put those on there) so any new Roku might have any 4 preset buttons. But this doesn’t limit what apps you can run, it just means that some apps may or may not be accessible via a single button press.
I’m saying you can not download or get YouTube TV AT ALL on any new Roku device. Any newer device does not have it and you are not able to get the channel added unless you open YouTube and open YouTube TV through the regular YouTube app. Not ideal every time you want to watch tv. Look up Google and Roku dispute. Roku removed the app as a result of their dispute. I’m taking back my new device that does not have the option to download or use YouTube TV app.
It’s now integrated into the YouTube app itself for Roku.
