Unfortunately you wont get the YTTV app back until the dispute between Roku and Google is resolved.

In the meantime, you use YT to access YTTV:  Open YT, select "YouTube TV" in the lower left corner of the UI

If you have trouble opening YT, try the list, especially options #3 and #4.

Known solutions/workarounds for YT not loading/closing to Home:

1) Check for updates: Settings/System/System update/Check now - try again

2) Restart Roku: Settings/System/System restart/Restart - try again

3) Change your Theme to the Roku Default: Settings/Theme/Restore default theme - try again

4) Change your Screensaver to a Roku clock: Settings/Theme/Screensavers - try again

5) Remove SD card (if installed) - try again

6) Remove app, RESTART ROKU: Settings/System/System restart/Restart, Add app - try again

7) Network connection reset: Settings/System/Advanced system settings/Network connection reset - try again

😎 Completely unplug power from Roku for 10-15 minutes - try again

9) Factory reset: Settings/System/Advanced system settings/Factory reset <--- last resort

NOTE for #6: Do not remove the YouTube TV app - you will not get the app back until the end of the dispute

I did the items mentioned in red, set the theme to default and the screensaver to clock (removed the aquatic screensaver) and mine is working again.

I deleted all but 15 channels and it fixed the problem with YouTube and Amazon Prime. (I'm in Western NC too)
