Having problems with your Amazon FireTV and YouTube? Try this!

Dan Uff March 9, 2023 1

Amazon's Fire TV usually works most of the time. But sometimes, you may run into a problem where YouTube TV may not be able to show a selected channel when first going into the app. This can happen for various reasons.

If you've experiencing such a problem, then perhaps it's time to reset the Fire Stick. Doing so may re-establish a connection with your wired or wireless network and clear out any problems that may have come up.

Here's how:

Make sure you're at the Fire Stick main menu.
Go into Settings.
Find and go into My Fire TV.
Scroll down and select the Restart option.
Verify that you wish to restart the Fire TV Stick.
The Fire Stick will restart.
Now try the service again. It should work as before.
That's it.

That didn't help? Try this:

When in YouTubeTV, select another channel to watch.
If that channel appears, then select the previous channel.
You should be able to watch it as before.
That's it.

Still no go? Try this:

Check your network's router.
Try logging into a website from another computer.
If that works, try the Here's how section again.
Call Amazon for support.

UPDATE

Apple invites Ted Lasso fans to “believe” with new Today at Apple session

Beginning this week, customers around the world can drop in to an Apple Store for a fun, new Today at Apple session in celebration of the third season of Ted Lasso. During the “Pop-Up Studio: Make Your Own Ted Lasso Poster,” attendees will create their own version of Coach Lasso’s locker room sign using Apple Pencil on iPad. The interactive experience is part of the Today at Apple program, which offers free, daily in-store sessions that empower customers to unleash their creativity and make the most of their devices.

The two-time Emmy Award-winning comedy series is returning to Apple TV+ on Wednesday, March 15, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 31. After its global debut on Apple TV+, Ted Lasso earned back-to-back Emmy Award wins for its freshman and sophomore seasons. It has also been recognized with an esteemed Peabody Award, a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and three Critics Choice Awards, sweeping all categories in which the series was nominated.

Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team — despite having no experience. But what he lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with optimism, underdog determination — and biscuits. The Apple Original comedy also stars Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, Anthony Head, Toheeb Jimoh, Cristo Fernández, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris, James Lance, and Juno Temple.

Viewers can catch up on seasons one and two of Ted Lasso, now streaming globally on Apple TV+ on the Apple TV app.
