Roku voice search doesn't return content from Youtube TV?

Hello, 

I have a new 4K Roku streaming stick. 

When I search for content using the voice search, matching content in Roku TV, Hulu, Prime, etc. will be suggested BUT NOT Youtube TV.

For instance, I searched for "Seinfeld", YT TV was not listed? I did another search for "Bluey" and it also didn't list YT TV as a source?

When the Roku is searching for content, is it not looking in YT TV? If so, is there a way around this? I am planning to use YT TV as my cable replacement. It also doesn't seem possible to open the YT TV app and issue a voice search within the app--am I missing something?

Thank you

      Hi RokuKarla 

      Thank you for the reply. So are you saying I should reach out to You Tube TV with my question? 

      TY
