Yes. First thing I did before downloading the YouTube TV app to the Roku.

Then after it wouldn't launch, I uninstalled the app, check the firmware again (it was current), reinstalled the app...and fail. Reset the Roku, relaunched the app...and fail. A few seconds of an hourglass and then back to the Roku home screen. YouTube TV says they are aware of the issue and "working on it and hope to have it resolved soon". My concern is what does "soon" mean...a few hours, a few days, 3 months down the road?
