Call (800) 646-6816 for Assistance, If you’re unable to access local channels on YouTube TV, don’t worry. Here are the most common causes and fixes for this issue.
Why Local Channels May Not Work
Outdated Home Area Information: Your home area determines the local channels available to you through YouTube TV. If your home area isn't set correctly on your account, you may lose access to these channels. Log into your account and update your home area through the Settings menu.
Location Services on Mobile Devices: If local channels aren’t working on your mobile, it’s likely due to location services being disabled. To fix this, go to your phone's settings and enable location services specifically for the YouTube TV app. This step is crucial for accurate channel detection.
Location Changes: When traveling outside of your home area, local channel access changes. Most of the YouTube TV licensing agreements clamp down much of the local content based on physical location. If it's an issue where you can't seem to change your local channels, refresh your location settings or restart your device.
Steps to Rectify Issues
Ensure that your home area is updated with your current location.
Provide permissions for the location of the YouTube TV app on all your devices.
