What to do about a Roku?

With the ongoing feud between Google and Roku, I now have a problem and hope there’s a fix.

I have a Roku TV and I am a subscriber to YouTube TV. The YouTube TV and YouTube apps no longer launch and crash back to the main screen with no errors. I thought maybe Roku pulled the plug on Google but my other Roku Ultra still launches YouTube TV just fine.

How can I resolve this without deleting and reinstalling the apps? I know that Roku has blocked the downloads for YouTube TV so if I delete it I will not be able to reinstall it. I don’t see a way to clear the app cache from the settings menu either.

    <p>You may need to reset your Roku or the apps. I use YouTube app to watch Windows Weekly each week and its working fine for me. </p>

    <p>Haven’t they incorporated YouTube TV into the main YouTube app anyway? If so you may be able to delete and reinstall without too much worry. But check first!</p>
