I just started having this issue as well. I have removed YouTubetv and readded it, I have unplugged the ruko and restarted it after 3 minutes. Nothing. YouTubetv runs fine on my phone using the same network. Other streaming channels work.

Re: YouTube TV channel licensing issues

We're having this error on all of our ROKU devices and on PC.  Its only working on our mobile devices.

I just found the following notice on YoutubeTV's website: "We're aware of an issue with YouTube TV, and we are working to fix it! If you contact us, you may notice longer than normal wait times" so it appears to be their issue.

It might be a YouTube TV issue, over on Down Detector lots of people seem to be having the same problem as well.

Have the same error message "Playback error Sorry, there was an error licensing this video." Not sure why there was a message sent to Google. Tried all the tricks I know. Sounds like it is a know problem that should be getting rapid attention.

I'm having the same problem. A channel will come on and then go off again. My brother is having the same problem. He uses a different Roku device so the issue is almost certainly with YouTube TV.

Re: YouTube TV channel licensing issues

The error seems to have been resolved on all of our non-mobile playback devices, and the Youtube issue banner has been removed from their support page.

Did you or anyone on this chain received any explanation from You Tube Google ! I have not. Sort of think it would void ti gear the explanation.
