YouTube TV constantly logged out, and we have to go through the login process every time we turn the TV on. Roku refers us to YouTube TV, YouTube TV refers us back to Roku.  This problem has been ongoing for about two years (as per posts to your discussion boards).  When can we expect to fix? It is a nuisance to have to login every time and even more of a nuisance to have to remove the app and reinstall it (as per your directions).

My partner had the same problem. He was logged in to YouTube on his smart TV and it would keep loging him out of his Roku based YouTube. We logged him out of his smart TV YouTube and now he stays logged into his Roku YouTube.

Raime, you have to be kidding. You lost me at remove the app or something like that....!!  By the end I virtually forgot what it was the question was... But it was much more simple that the answer........Bottom line is the same for me. Overnight the the Roku tCL disconnected and 8 hours later, I still haven't been able to9 get the wireless password to work and reconnect me.........

Raime, I will read it again after my brain has considered some of your points.

I am having the same problem with Hulu. Tried all the suggestions, but the asterisk/Options button simply does not work on the Hulu app (only on one of my remotes/TVs). This just happened, with smooth sailing previously. Can't uninstall and reinstall, etc.
