Channels & viewing

[jtgostars]

Whenever I open the YouTube TV app on my new Roku it opens to what ever live show/channel or recording I was viewing last and starts streaming it. It doesn't matter when I was last watching on YouTube TV; yesterday, 2 days ago, 3 days ago etc. even if it wasn't marked for recording. Why would I want to continue watching something, i.e. the news from 1,2,3 or more days ago?

Before I upgraded to the newest Ultra it would open to the "Home" screen without any live channel or show being streamed just the standard static home screen.

This does not occur on my other older Ultra Roku in my bedroom and YouTube TV indicates there is no setting that would cause this.
