Glad to have you join us here in the Roku Community, bamashooter!

Thanks for posting about your experience here with YouTube TV. We're here to help you sort this out. 

For starters, since this is only happening to YouTube TV, we would recommend doing this simple fix below:

  1. Remove the channel: Highlight the channel tile on your home screen and press Star to open the Options menu. Select Remove channel and confirm.
  2. Restart your Roku device: Go to Settings > System > Power > System restart > Restart Now.
  3. Re-install the channel: After your Roku device restarts, visit the Roku Streaming Store and add the channel again.

If that doesn't work, you can find more troubleshooting steps here.

Let us know if this helps or if you need additional tips to speed things up!

Best,
Emman
