UI is absolutely awful. I've lived with that for a while now but the biggest problem is that the Watch Key Plays feature doesn't work on any of my TV apps. It works on my phone and tablet, but not on FireTV, Shield, or the built-in LG App. In all cases it says "no key plays available" but they clearly are because they work on the tablet and phone. Without key plays there is nothing to set YT TV apart from the competition so perhaps I should give alternatives another look.

the UI is slow and clunky, you can never get to the channel guide without an unlock sequence that Rivals that of a nuclear facility. most of the time you end up not being able to watch what you're trying to watch for the first 3 to 5 minutes while you wait for the UI to load and then eventually you're able to watch your show but you may have to sit through a number of ads that may restart depending on if the app

I've got YouTube TV on a couple of Android devices, an AppleTV and my wife's iPhone. I recently purchased a TCL Android TV and installed this app. It works pretty well for the most part, but it has a major UI flaw. After starting to watch something live, there's no way with the remote to get back to the grid menu. I can get to a smaller "Networks" scroll on the bottom..but where's the traditional grid menu I can get on all of the other devices.

I love the service as a Cable TV replacement, the DVR and the interface are great and multiple user profiles for the household are wonderful. I am not a fan of live TV starting to stream as soon as you open the app and hope you can add a toggle to turn this off in the settings soon. There are still no shows ever added to the "Play Next" bar in Android TV, YouTube TV is not alone in this, it only seems to be used by Pluto TV and the HBO app. More a criticism of the service and not the app, there is still no surround audio from all the channels and I know they broadcast to cable tv with that. People using a Android TV box probably use it in a home theater setup so surround would be appreciated. I would also love it if you could change the icon to the dark scheme like on Roku so it doesn't look so much like the YouTube icon on Android TV. Edited

Since a few weeks back, some channels are having a strange video delay. I tried everything that I was to do as per somebody in the support department told me to do it without any positive results. Additionally I read a lot of information from Google search. So because of this inconvenience and the unfaithful increase in the tariff I will change my TV provider. Edited
