YouTube TV takes 8 seconds to change channels

About two weeks ago YouTube TV started to take about 8 seconds to change channels. It’s the same for all channels. Programs play fine, clear and good sound just slow to change channels. All my other apps work fine. 

I’ve been talking to YouTube TV but they have been no help. 

Anyone else having this issue

        It's Google's Roku-compatible version of Google's own YouTube TV app.  Google programs and maintains it.  Only they can fix the problems with it.  Roku just provides the platform on which the app runs runs.

    Hello Cthom54

    Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!

    For clarification, are you only experiencing the issue within YouTube TV or across other channels installed on your Roku device? You can try restarting your player from the Settings menu by going to Settings > System > System restart > Restart.

    Let us know if there's any difference after.

    All the best,
    Kariza

      Restarting does not change anything.  Issue persists

    I've had the same problem since I can remember.  I just re-installed the app now that it's back in the Roku Channel Store.  I restarted the Roku.  Nothing helps.
