A New YouTube TV Glitch on Roku Breaks The Guide – Here is How to Fix It

YouTube TV users on Roku devices are encountering a peculiar glitch that delivers incorrect and outdated program guide information. The issue, which began surfacing in user reports over the past week, stems from an interaction between Roku’s new instant restart feature and YouTube TV’s data handling. This has resulted in subscribers being presented with television listings that are sometimes days old, leading to confusion and missed programming. The core of the problem lies in Roku’s instant restart functionality, designed to enhance user convenience by allowing apps to resume playback exactly where they left off, even after extended periods of inactivity. This feature works seamlessly for many applications, preserving the viewer’s position in a show or movie without the need to navigate back manually. However, when applied to YouTube TV, it appears to extend beyond just video content resumption. The app is inadvertently pulling in old guide data from previous sessions, displaying schedules that no longer reflect current broadcasts. For instance, a user who pauses a live sports event on Monday and returns to the app on Wednesday might find the guide still showing Monday’s lineup, complete with games that have already concluded and news segments from earlier in the week.

As of Jan. 16, YouTube will stop delivering data to Billboard. In a blog post yesterday, the veteran music executive Lyor Cohen, currently global head of music for YouTube, wrote: Billboard uses an outdated formula that weights subscription-supported streams higher than ad-supported. This doesn't reflect how fans engage with music today and ignores the massive engagement from fans who don’t have a subscription. Streaming is the primary way people experience music, making up 84% of U.S. recorded music revenue. We’re simply asking that every stream is counted fairly and equally, whether it is subscription-based or ad-supported — because every fan matters and every play should count. A day before that announcement, Billboard announced a change in its chart tabulation, which leans more heavily toward streaming but which put even more weight on paid streams as opposed to ad-supported ones. (Billboard first began weighing paid streams more heavily in 2018.) It
