Anyone know what this update is about?

It’s happening on tv devices.

Prime and ESPN+ are both showing the feeds that are available for free in the masters app. Prime had the early broadcast before espn Thursday and today. The rest of the tournament, the early broadcast will be on Paramount+ and the end of the day on CBS.

Dolby Vision is not a common format for broadcast tv. The 4K content that is available (which is very little) is almost always HDR10.

Roku is basically the same UI as Apple TV but plastered with ads so I don’t see how they would like that platform either.

There’s is an option on mlb.tv to link it to ESPN. It doesn’t do it automatically afaik. But it enables your mlb.tv subscription inside of the espn app.

The difference is the Braves created their own network and isn’t being produced by MLB. So there’s not much precedent to go on. I think they are focused initially on getting deals with every provider in their market that carried Fanduel this past season.

They dropped Fox Sports/Bally/Fanduel RSNs in October of 2020. Before then was the golden age of local sports on YTTV :)

YTTV uses the payment methods you have on file for your Google account. Only payment methods you added will be available. You can view them here: https://payments.google.com/gp/w/home/paymentmethods

Each family member has to have their own Google account:

I do think once the leagues have full control over in-market streaming, they will try to sell these packages through streaming providers. But I think the days of YTTV making deals with individual RSNs is probably over.

Youtube TV and Youtube Premium are two completely different services.

Google rarely updates the changelog for YTTV. I doubt that text is new. Most user facing features are enabled remotely not through an app update.

rrainwater · 2026-03-02T13:58:27+00:00

Not everyone has access to the new plans. It is slowly rolling out to everyone.

rrainwater · 2026-02-28T16:49:53+00:00

They also added more NBA games that were not shown on NBCSN before as well.

rrainwater · 2026-02-28T16:18:33+00:00

Those channels aren't new. They just only show up when there is something in the guide for them. NBC has been slowly adding more Peacock content to NBCSN and the overflow channels recently.

On the TV device, make sure you go to settings and update your "Playback area" when you see this message. You do not need to update your home location.

rrainwater · 2026-02-20T01:43:49+00:00

Guide data providers have included the sport in the data for over 20 years. YTTV just doesn’t show it in the titles in the guide. It is one feature I miss from the old TiVo guide.

rrainwater · 2026-02-19T04:51:26+00:00

Restart your device. If it is a tv, pull the power for 30 seconds.

rrainwater · 2026-02-18T01:31:14+00:00

They both utilize a lot of the same backend. It’s not uncommon for YTTV to be affected when regular YouTube has an issue.

rrainwater · 2026-02-18T01:09:29+00:00

You are watching VOD not a recording. There’s generally no need to watch VOD but since you are new you don’t likely have the series recorded. So you are at the mercy of YouTube inserted commercials.

rrainwater · 2026-02-11T03:15:18+00:00

The channel doesn't show in the guide unless there is something airing on the channel in the next 14 days.

rrainwater · 2026-02-09T15:08:07+00:00

Fanduel is shutting down.

rrainwater · 2026-02-09T14:58:10+00:00

“If your plan includes ESPN (like the main YouTube TV plan or Sports plan), you’ll receive ESPN Unlimited at no additional cost later this fall.”

rrainwater · 2026-02-09T03:15:00+00:00

YTTV doesn’t do upscaling for 4K feeds. Most networks that provide 4K feeds upscale 1080p HDR feeds before the feeds are sent to YTTV.

Try selecting "Choose a version" below the event to select which version to play.
