The Roku 2XD is now 13 years old and no longer supported. Even if the YTTV app was available I can almost guarantee it would not work on your player. I have a 2 XS that was worthless for YouTube after only a few years, simply because Google designs their apps for the newest players and older players are no longer supported by their apps. 

If you want to watch YouTube TV, you are going to have to get a newer player. Yours is completely outdated and Roku stopped supporting it a couple of years ago.
