YouTube TV ‘Video unavailable’ screen is interrupting shows and sporting events

YouTube TV recently experienced a bug that caused channels to go missing in the Live tab. Fortunately, Google was quick to act and has rolled out a fix for the issue. Just as things were getting back to normal, it appears another bug has reared its ugly head. This time, the problem is causing users to miss crucial moments in their shows.

Imagine watching a basketball game with the score tied up and only seconds left on the clock. As your team inbounds the ball and puts up a shot, a black screen with a message that reads “Video Unavailable” disrupts the action. That is the problem some YouTube TV viewers are currently experiencing.

According to reports on Reddit, this black screen has started showing up during shows and sporting events. The black screen is said to last for about 10 seconds before returning to whatever is playing at the moment. Some users are claiming that the issue is only happening while they are tuned in to NBC.

Android Authority has reached out to Google and NBC for comment. Once more information becomes available, we will update this article. Until then, let us know if you’re also experiencing this issue. If you are, is the problem only happening on NBC?
