YouTube TV Freezing Problem Frustrates Roku Users.
Roku users streaming YouTube TV are running into an annoying issue: fast-forwarding through DVR recordings is causing playback to freeze, leaving viewers stuck and frustrated.
DVR recordings are one of YouTube TV’s biggest perks, so when problems arise, it’s a big deal for subscribers. Over the last couple of weeks, Roku users have been reporting that trying to fast-forward recordings results in a frozen screen. The only way to fix it is to completely close the app, reopen it, and start the recording all over again—definitely not ideal.
Interestingly, this glitch seems to only affect Roku devices. Viewers using Google TV and other platforms haven’t run into the same problem. YouTube TV has acknowledged the issue and says they’re investigating, so it’s likely a fix will be on the way soon.
In the meantime, some users have found makeshift solutions. On Reddit, one user suggested advancing in small “steps” when fast-forwarding, which keeps the video playing but only to a point. Others say switching the video quality might unfreeze the screen. While these tricks can help, they’re far from perfect, and Roku users are anxiously waiting for YouTube TV to roll out an official fix.
With YouTube TV recently making headlines for pricing updates and new features, Roku users are hoping this freezing issue gets prioritized. Here’s to a speedy resolution so subscribers can get back to enjoying their DVR recordings hassle-free.
