Random records

I have contacted the help and they have not been helpful at all. Has anyone else had the issue where a show u r watching just starts to randomly record and it just shows that show on a loop. No one has access to my accounts I don’t know of and it happens on multiple different platforms. It has happened using a fire stick, iPad, Samsung smart TVs, and more.

Accessing content from Library

OK, this is probably a dumb question but I just cannot figure it out.

I start watching a program from my library and then stop before I finish it. The next time I go back to the program I do not see an option to pick up where I left off. It seems like I have to start from the beginning each time.

I must be missing something. How do I pick up where I left off?

TIA

Cancellation loop

Trying to cancel YTTV but can't... YouTube Tv landing page, sign in, click my avatar, only option available is "manage your google account." click that and it pops out to Opens google account in a new tab. Go down to subscriptions where I see the youtube TV subscription, and click "Manage my subscriptions." Takes me to a screen showing in the "managed by Google" section that my subscription is active with the next renewal date. Only option to click is the YTTV icon and Where does that take me, but back to the Youtube landing page to sign in. (not already signed in) HAAAAAALP!

YTTV FX Streaming vs Cable

I just signed up for YTTV and still have my xfinity subscription. I tried to watch What We Do In The Shadows and the picture quality on YTTV is so bad and dark that it is unwatchable. Most of the show is a night setting which I think makes this worse. I compared the exact same scene on xfinity and it's night and day, no pun intended. Is this a YTTV issue or an FX Streaming issue? I'll try to test it on Disney+ and Hulu tomorrow.

I'm trying so hard to get rid of Xfinity because it is so darn expensive but this is giving me pause.

Pulling my hair out my system is showing excellent but I'm getting a ton of buffering tonight

I've tried rebooting everything in the house. 6e Google network wifi. Hard Wired to an AT&T fiber router. Fiber shows 990 down. 6e wifi network and the TV in garage that is 20 feet from the wifi. Nothing between them. Everything buffers constantly. Both the Samsungtv app and an attached new chromecast streamer doing the same. If I go to another app it goes away. Is there something with the local feeds?

CFP games

Any chance these games are going to be in 4k, I know yttv doesn't control that but rather ESPN chooses what to air. Still can't find a yes no answer anywhere. I was sad to see the conference championships absent from ESPN 4k this previous weekend.

Does ESPN have a schedule anywhere with their 4k events?

YouTube TV Not Working

This is my first post on this subreddit so excuse the potential misuse of flairs. I'm having this issue where after I turn my TV off for a while (about 6-7 hours) and turn it back on and go to youtube and click it, nothing happens. The obly thing that happens is something pops up on the bottom that says "You're entering a third-party app. Press Info (i) to learn more". It usually stays like that for another 3-4 hours before it works again. All my other apps work fine and run perfectly. Anybody know what's wrong or what I should do?

Just Join The YouTube TV Family! Can Anyone Explain the 3 Device Limit?

Hi, I officially just join the YouTube TV Family literally 30 mins ago! I activated the Family Group profile to add my younger brother and noticed the 3 device limit outside home. Does this mean for both my account and his? Or is it 3 device limit per members? So for family, when I'm not a home, I will watch Youtube TV on my cell. That counts for 1 device, etc. Just trying to understand expectations since so many people obviously use multiple devices (tablets, phones, etc).

Raw and Smackdown recordings cutting earlier than they should

Any way to fix this? Raw on Monday nights and Smackdown on Friday nights always getting cut off an unknown amount of time early. The show is never done done before it kicks back to the menu.

Might need some tweaking. Thanks.

Zen

Anyone else loving Zen? Would be curious to know what the channel performance is like so far - but I hope it continues to evolve and become more sophisticated over time

Suggestion for multiview to YTTV

The multiview I want to see is not the 4/3/2 box, I want to see one primary, full screen, and a second in a PIP window on the top, then let me hold the center button to toggle.

KTHXBYE

1080p Enhanced vs 4K

First off, you guys kick butt - my TV is not too high I promise.

Ok - I now own a LG C4 OLED Display. I want to watch my sports in the highest quality possible.

SNF last night was displayed in 1080P Enhanced, but during the game it was advertised that we were watching the Walmart 4K Cam.

I’ve been in Enteprise SaaS long enough to smell marketing BS from a mile away and I know there’s shenanigans going on here.

So - can I get anything better than 1080P Enhanced? Wtf is 1080P Enhanced really?

Suddenly getting YTTV sign-up screen (that must be completed) when using the app away from home

I have addresses in two cities (NY and DC) and have had YTTV for the past year in both with no problems. Arrived in NYC three days ago and suddenly get a YTTV signup screen on my TV (with plans and pricing) EVERY TIME that must be completed before I can use the app. (I have to go through my Google account and enter a code before proceeding.) After that, all is fine until the next time I open the app. Is this a new thing for everyone using YTTV in two locations? 🤔

Key plays feature doesn't work

After the Tampa Bay Bucs game was over I clicked on the icon for the game and then clicked on Key Plays, of which there were 33. The first play ran fine, but the screen was frozen for the remainder of the plays although the counter kept advancing (play #2, #3, etc.). I use Roku and am located in Tampa. Why isn't this feature working?

Anyone had experience using Alexa with a firestick and googletv?

Setting this up for my aunt and shes dead set on continuing to use alexa and not wanting to change to watch her shows on youtubeTV

I’m not sure what commands i can use, took me a few hours to get it set up to where she can just say ‘alexa, open youtube tv’ … and yes, she has difficulty using her hands, so using a remote is a moot point at this time.

Video is stuttering horribly

I’m on an Apple tv and am trying to watch the Sunday Night Football game. The video is stuttering and the video looks horribly grainy. My Apple TV is hard wired and i have Google Fiber.

This has been happening more and more often.

Fresno NBC KSEE 24 Stuttering Video! SNF looks horrible 🤦🏻‍♂️

I just signed up for YTTV and Sunday Night Football is a stuttering mess when the camera is moving. I searched here and found another post for this from a year ago that was due to a stutter on NBC KSEE 24 and it seems this is still not fixed???

Do we know if this is just normal? If so I may have to go back to Xfinity.

No 720P for NFL

None of the games are showing in 720p or higher on my Android tablet. This was not a problem last week. It only goes to 480P.
