    I have a new Roku Ultra. The remote that came with it has buttons for Netflix, Hulu, ESPN and Sling. However, I have a Harmony Hub remote and I can program it to choose YouTube TV as the start channel when I push the TV button on my Harmony Remote. This is done in the programming of the remote.  I set up an Activity called Watch YouTube TV.  The Start Sequence is as follows:

    Start TV
    Start Roku Ultra
    Set TV input
    Starting Channel = YouTube TV

    That is all there is to starting YouTube TV a Harmony universal remote.
