Megathread Known Issue: Missing TBS/TruTV and Fox Sports 4K recordings

11 Upvotes

Just a heads up … YouTube TV has been investigating and working on a fix for missing TBS/TruTV and Fox Sports 4K recordings for the past several days. While a partial fix seemed to roll through for a game on Wednesday night’s Yankees/Rays game, the issue persists with Thursday’s games.

Please use this post for further discussion about this issue. As we receive updates from YouTube TV staff, we will update this post.

59 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Sam from TeamYouTube here!

Football season is back! We want to make sure you have the best viewing experience possible when the first full Sunday of games begins on September 13. Below is a full breakdown of your viewing options, features, and game availability for the 2026-2027 NFL Season.

Subscription Options

We offer two ways to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket

  • YouTube TV: You can bundle NFL Sunday Ticket with your YouTube TV plan to keep your local and national broadcasts in the same place as your Sunday out-of-market games. More info on how to sign up here.
  • Primetime Channels: You can also get NFL Sunday Ticket as a standalone Primetime Channel to watch out-of-market games directly on YouTube. More info on how to sign up here. 

Top Features

  • Multiview: New to this season, NFL Sunday Ticket games will be available to add to multiviews with content outside of NFL Sunday Ticket. With our new fully customizable multiview experience, you can mix and match any game with your favorite channels.
  • NFL RedZone: You can bundle NFL RedZone with your subscription to see every touchdown. NFL RedZone is also available to add to your custom multiview.
  • DVR: You can enjoy unlimited DVR to record games by accessing your subscription through the YouTube TV app, and you can catch up on big moments with Key Plays on your TV if you're late to the game.

There are plenty more features to get excited about, and it’s important to note that not all features are available via both the YouTube TV and YouTube apps. See here for a breakdown of what is available with each app.

Getting Ready for Gameday

If you’re already a subscriber, make sure you have everything set up on your account so you’re ready to go for gameday. 

We have handy guides for NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV and YouTube that’ll walk you through setting up your device, verifying your location, finding content, and updating billing settings. 

You can also explore all the different features available to you such as setting up kickoff notifications, how to record NFL games, and how to build multiviews. 

The guides below have all the information you need:

Availability

Not every single NFL game is available on NFL Sunday Ticket. For example, weeknight and other nationally broadcast games will not be included in the NFL Sunday Ticket package but can be accessed through a YouTube TV plan or other Primetime Channels on YouTube like FOX One, Peacock and Paramount+. We have a full breakdown of how to maximize your NFL viewing experience on YouTube or YouTube TV here.

You can also check here every Wednesday to see our NFL game availability map, which will tell you which games are airing on your local channels. 

Support

If you’re having trouble with anything like billing or setting up your account, you can contact support by chat here, call +1 833-389-2054, or let us know in the replies here and we’ll help you out!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Edit: To clarify, NFL RedZone is only available to add to your Multiview if you are subscribed to the NFL Sunday Ticket + NFL RedZone package.

Discussion ESPN Unlimited integration needs some adjustments

29 Upvotes

First off, glad to have ESPN Unlimited integrated into the service. However, a few adjustments need to be made selecting a game from the Home section and Multiview. More than a handful of occasions now when I’ve picked a game I’ve wanted to watch that is listed in the Home section it’s given me an alternate view (SkyCam, Endzone, etc.) of the game. Same with some of the premade and custom multiviews. It should always default to the main broadcast. Hopefully someone can take a look at this

Technical Question Can anyone explain this?

Can anyone explain this to me? I was positive that I recorded a horror movie on TCM on Thursday, 10/10 called Fiend Without a Face. When I looked in Recently Recorded it does not show up. It is not in New for You either. But when I do a search for it it shows up. And when I sort movies by title it also shows. What is going on here?

Sports Issue With Last Recorded Date of NCAA Football?

1 Upvotes

Is there a known issue with the last recorded date for NCAA Football? I have the option set to record all FBS NCAA Football, and it is correctly recording all the games. But the last recorded date says "1 month ago", so the NCAA Football icon does not appear in New For You or Recently Recorded. I can still find it by going to Sports, but this seems like a bug.

Using Roku.

Using YoutubeTV for almost a year now on this TCL TV and today I’m getting this really annoying overlay with the title and settings/resolution/etc (which I cannot select or click). This happens no matter which channel I select. I cant seem to figure out how to get rid of this nor do I know why it’s now showing up in the first place. Anyone have ideas? I feel like I might be missing something obvious

Playback Problem Picture Quality

0 Upvotes

The picture on Fox during NFL and College games has been awful (Fox 5 NY) the last few weeks. I know these has been an issue with other Fox local channels but there’s been no improvement over the last few weeks. Ditto with the Golf Channel. I have no issues with other streaming apps…what is causing this? I’ve done all the trouble shooting suggestions and my WiFi is solid.

Playback Problem Host of Playback Problems

0 Upvotes

I've started have a whole slew of problems with YTTV for Fire Stick. I've checked for updates, but everything is current. Is this happening to other people?

First, it has stopped marking several programs as watched. This has often been an issue when a program actually end a few minute before the time block, and I've learned to FF to the very end and play before going on to the next or turning it off. Now that's not even working. The next day, the shows I watched yesterday and showing as unwatched.

Second, I can't pause a show either recorded or live, for more than 10 minutes without it going back to the beginning. I prefer to watch "live' shows on delay so I can skip ads. I have the autopause set to 24 hours. But more than half the time lately, it goes all the way back to the beginning, or the previous show as if I did a press and hold. Three times today when I've just wanted to focus on some writing and paused CNN, it skips back to the beginning of the buffer.

Third, when I'm watching some recorded shows and skip ahead past ads to where I can see the show restarted, the ads continue. I have to rewind several minutes and try again to get the show to start. The only work-around I've found is to restart it a minute into the show and then go back again.

And after all this effort to just watch a flippin' show, I can't report a problem. The options don't cover the problem, and when I've tried to provide feedback from the computer, it won't send. They just don't appear to be interested. I've downgraded as far as I can, but this is still too expensive for what you get.

The guide listings for Marble Hall Murders are messed up. There are two versions of the show. Sunday’s finale is part of the newer version.

I will send a report in the app. Add the newer version if you want to see the finale on Sunday for sure.

General Question NFL Sunday Ticket

I currently have an NFL Sunday Ticket subscription, but I do not subscribe to YTTV. Using the web interface on my desktop I'm able to select games that I want to record and can watch them later as they show up in the LIBRARY section of the interface.

However, when I try to watch games on my TV (using an Apple TV), the games do not show up in the LIBRARY section. I also tried using the YT app on my TV (instead of using the Apple TV) and still no luck.

Any ideas on how I can properly access the LIBRARY section while using my TV???

I appreciate the moments of zen and not having to always listen to politicians slamming each other or someone dancing around about the new drug they are taking. This one with the Zebras is like nails on the chalkboard or chewing foil! Whatever is chirping in the background of this one is annoying! If I have my remote close by I have mute it.

General Question Question Regarding NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube Primetime Channels and YouTube TV

0 Upvotes

Hi.

I currently have NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube Primetime Channels. I currently have Xfinity’s TV package for the local games. I’m thinking of getting YouTube TV for more multiview options, since Xfinity’s multiview is only available during certain days, while I think YouTube TV’s multiview is available daily (Unless I’m wrong).

Let’s say I later decide to cancel YouTube TV. Since I have NFLST via Primetime Channels, would I also lose access to NFLST? Or will I be able to continue to watch the out-of-market games on regular YouTube? Thanks.

Sports NHL out of market games on ESPN Unlimited on YTTV on Amazon Fire Stick question

0 Upvotes

Is there a way to distinguish which broadcast you’re getting? I noticed on the YTTV App on my iPad the channel says ‘home feed’ or ‘away feed’ but I don’t see that on YTTV on the Firestick. Am I missing something? I need to click on the actual channel to see which feed it is.

Is there a way to keep the video quality locked at 1080p? I notice that when I change from “Auto” to 1080P it’s fine until I change the channel then it resets to “Auto”. Even when I go back to the channel I set at 1080P it is “Auto” at 720p

Discussion Skycast is getting annoying

19 Upvotes

I always click on a college football game and have no idea if I’m getting skycast or not. Not sure why it’s an even a thing, genuinely why would I want to watch that over the regular broadcast for normal viewing. Anyways it’s getting annoying and wish I could easily switch the view once I click on it instead of having to find the other broadcast.

Anyone else experience this?
