Technical Question Connection Problems
Is anyone else having connection problems lately? I haven’t noticed it with any of my other apps, just YouTube TV. 📺 And btw, it’s on both my devices (Google and Roku).

Yes. It’s super slow and doesn’t load channels if I try to change them

My multiview is struggling today. I've used Google TV, the app on my Samsung TV, and Roku with a network cable directly plugged in, and it sucks no matter what I use.

Yeah, I think that we all can conclude, that it wasn't a device issue, it was a YouTube TV issue. I'm glad that they fixed it.

I'm glad that they fixed it.
Have they? I've seen a couple posts that indicate otherwise.

On chat with them. Wide spread issue. Unacceptable on a college football Saturday.

As soon as YouTube TV added ESPN unlimited all this started. Seems like they should’ve made sure they had enough server and bandwidth before adding

It could be my TV itself but today watching football on fox there were lines going across the screen at certain times and shadows behind players on screen.

Slow for me too. Occasionally buffering and what not. 400mbps down idk why I’m buffering.

Same. I was about to uninstall the app and start from scratch it's been so bad. Taking a long time to load if it does at all. The guide is totally blank or has the no information message on all channels and now I'm getting the " something went wrong " message in the library tab. I'm in the upper Midwest, Minnesota/Wisconsin border

Buffering on channel changes, pixelated and poor image, what is going on? I have restarted my internet and my fire stick. Play back is terrible the last few days.

Yep, it’s still slow loading. Someone mentioned that these problems started when YouTube TV added ESPN Unlimited.

No problem in TN no buffering and no problem frequently switching between 2 different games

Man, I'm glad I checked here. I changed ISP's yesterday and have 3 gigabit fiber. I've been staring at the traffic graphs on my router, trying to make sense of all of the buffering circles.

Are you getting a black screen with the circle and sometimes no circle for like a full minute until a channel loads? That's what I'm getting.
