YouTube TV is obvious if you can download that on your TV. I finally found it but took awhile. I was using step 2 below for weeks.

If YouTube, then on the left column on that homepage scroll all the way down to the bottom of that left Column and it will have a YouTube TV tab to click on.

If you have a smart tv,(or a Chromecast/Apple dongle)...there is a "cast" button on the YTV app. Click it and it will ask if you want to pair with the TV. say "yes" and the show will stream to the TV.

So I did that and got an internet connection. Too when I went to my youtube tv site and picked a channel, 3rd button showed a cast

pic, which I had done before and with no results...After setting up the tv I got it listed as a casting source...which I picked but didn't

see the show I was watching on ytt. I will keep trying. If worst comes to worst I can still pull up the channel on my desktop. Thanks for

all your help,.

download the Youtube TV app and install. Now open it up and log in as if you were on your computer. Should work fine after that.
