YouTube TV Users Face Access Issues to Recorded Content
YouTube TV subscribers are currently experiencing a frustrating problem: their recorded content is inaccessible. The issue has been confirmed by YouTube TV, who are actively working to resolve it.
In the past few hours, numerous users have reported on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubetv/comments/1pho9sl/cannotplaybackfrom_library/?sort=confidence) that the YouTube TV app is unable to play content from the recorded library. This issue seems to affect all devices, including mobile apps, TVs, and the YouTube TV website. The error message suggests that the content provider (e.g., NBC, ESPN, ABC) has 'restricted access' to the content.
While not all subscribers are affected, the problem has impacted a significant number of users. Google, the company behind YouTube TV, has acknowledged the issue in a forum post (https://support.google.com/youtubetv/thread/393364068).
Google's statement reads:
Hi YouTube TV Users,
