YouTube remains an insanely popular platform and will keep getting even more popular despite the fact that the platform doesn’t tolerate ad blockers anymore.

YouTube TV not working: how to fix the problem
From time to time, YouTube TV may start to malfunction. This is somewhat normal, as nothing lasts forever in life, and that simple principle also applies when it comes to technology.
There are a few simple troubleshooting steps that you can take to try to get rid of the problem. Here are some of the common ones:
- Update the YouTube TV app: a lot of apps out there can have functionality issues if you don’t get the latest update. Make sure YouTube TV runs on the latest version available!
- Clear Cache and Data on mobile devices: if you’re using YouTube TV on an Android phone or iPhone, clearing the cache and data could make the app run well again.
- Disable your VPN: Sure, VPNs are useful, but they can sometimes ruin your experience with YouTube TV.
- Check for service outages: Check the official YouTube TV status page or its social media accounts to see if there is any announcement of service outages. If there is any, it means you just have to wait for the problem to pass away, as it’s not your fault.
Ultimately, if none of the above methods solve your problem with YouTube TV, you can contact the YouTube TV support team to explain your problem. It’s in their best interest to help you out, so don’t be shy!
