YouTube TV overheats Roku

I keep having this issue on my tv. It's a Hisense Roku tv. Not a Roku streaming stick. Not a Roku device. A tv. I only get the overheating warning when watching YouTube TV. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

      FYI, this happens on my TCL Roku TV as well. It is positioned with proper ventilation and I have no problems with Peacock or other apps on my Roku tv. I have restarted the tv and uninstalled, then reinstalled the youtube tv app which did not help. We also have a Samsung tv with a roku streaming stick which has never had any problems.
