YouTube TV Video not available

 All of a sudden, I was not able to watch YouTube TV on my computer.

Searched the Internet for answers and did everything they said.

Well not everything.

I did reboot, check settings and sign in/sign out.

I did NOT clear cookies or clear the web browser history.


What I found on a Reddit (Thanks ShermanSherbert) was that since YouTube TV is connected to YouTube itself, settings in one can affect the other.

In this case I had turned ON "Restricted Mode" in order to not see all the comments on YouTube (which is the cause of mist time wasting.....)

This carried over to YouTube TV and prevented the video from playing!

So turning it OFF now allowed me to watch YouTube TV.

Passing this on to help others.
