How To Update Youtube Tv App On Firestick

YouTube TV on Firestick: A Never-Ending Love Story (and Update Cycle)

Let's be honest. Our Firesticks are like that quirky friend. We love 'em, but they can be a *little* high-maintenance, right?

Especially when it comes to keeping apps like YouTube TV updated. Seriously, is it just me, or does it feel like I'm updating it every other day?

The Great App Update Hunt

First things first, let's find that Firestick home screen. You know, the one with all the tempting streaming apps lined up. Try to resist clicking on that tempting show preview!

Scroll over to the "Apps" section. Some say you can find it by holding the Home button on the Firestick remote. I just keep clicking until I find it.

Now, locate the Appstore. This is where the magic (or, you know, necessary updates) happens.

Digging for Details

Inside the Appstore, look for "My Apps." It might also say "My Apps & Games." We're searching for some variation of that wording. Don't give up!

Find YouTube TV in the list. Sometimes it's at the top, sometimes hiding at the bottom. Apps love playing hide-and-seek, don't they?

If an update is available, you’ll see an "Update" button instead of "Open". This is the moment of truth. Click it!

The Unpopular Opinion

Here's my controversial take: I think apps purposely space out the "Update" buttons. Like, they want you to accidentally click "Open" and watch another episode before updating. Conspiracy? Maybe.

The update should download and install automatically. Progress bars are mesmerizing, I know. But try to avoid staring *too* intensely. It won't make it go faster, sadly.

Once updated, you should see an "Open" button. Victory! Launch YouTube TV and enjoy the *hopefully* improved streaming experience.

The Sneaky Backdoor Method

Sometimes the Appstore is…well, let's just say it's not always the most reliable. Here's a secret weapon.

Go to "Settings" on your Firestick. It's the gear icon. Unless your Firestick is feeling rebellious today.

Then find "Applications," then "Manage Installed Applications." This is where you can see all your apps listed. Even the ones trying to hide.

Find YouTube TV and select it. There might be an "Update" option here. If not, well, at least you tried!

The Nuclear Option (Use With Caution!)

Okay, things are getting serious. If YouTube TV refuses to update, you might need to uninstall and reinstall the app. I know, it's drastic.

Go back to "Manage Installed Applications," select YouTube TV, and choose "Uninstall." This deletes the app from your Firestick.

Then, go back to the Appstore and search for YouTube TV to reinstall it. Consider it a fresh start for your streaming experience.

Embrace the Chaos

Updating apps on Firestick can feel like a chore. But remember, we're doing this for better streaming, fewer glitches, and ultimately, more binge-watching enjoyment.

So, take a deep breath, grab some snacks, and embrace the update process. You got this!

And if all else fails, blame the Firestick. It's always a safe bet. Just kidding! (Mostly.)

Now, go forth and update, my friends! May your streams be smooth and your updates be swift. Especially those pesky YouTube TV ones!
