Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to figure out how to change local channels on YouTube TV, but it’s been a bit confusing. I checked the settings, but I’m not sure if I’m missing something. Does anyone know the best way to update or switch local channels? If so, please share! I found this number 833-576-4132, but I want to make sure it actually connects me to a support rep. Has anyone used it before?

Yeah, I’ve had my fair share of struggles with YouTube TV settings too. From my experience, your local channels are based on your home area, and sometimes they don’t update automatically. That number you mentioned, 833-576-4132, should work. You might have to go through a few automated prompts before getting to a real agent, though. Just keep selecting options related to “account” or “location settings” if you need a faster response.

I agree! Their chat support is decent, but sometimes you just need to talk to a person. I called that number a few weeks ago when I moved to a new city and needed to update my local channels. After about a 5-minute wait, I finally got to a rep who helped me fix the issue. So, yes, that number does work!

Pro tip: If you’re trying to update your local channels, check your home area settings under YouTube TV’s location settings. If you’ve recently moved, you might have to update your home zip code manually. Also, calling during non-peak hours (early morning or late at night) can help if you need quick support.

Has anyone had luck with their live chat instead of calling? I’m at work most of the day, so I prefer messaging over phone calls.

Yes! The live chat option is available on their support page. It’s pretty efficient, but if the issue is complicated (like being locked out of changing your location), they usually suggest calling the support number anyway. So, if you’re short on time, I’d say just dial directly.

I wish YouTube TV had a better way to update local channels without going through all these automated responses. It’s so frustrating! But yeah, calling them is the best option if you need immediate help. I called last month when my local channels weren’t updating after I traveled, and they managed to fix it in one call.

Does anyone know if this number works for resetting location settings too? I tried updating my home area in the app, but it kept saying I had reached my limit for changing locations.

Yes, you can reset your location via phone. When you call 833-576-4132, just navigate to the “account” or “location settings” option, and you’ll eventually reach an agent who can process the update for you. I did it a couple of months ago, and it was straightforward. They do ask for confirmation details, though!

Thanks for sharing, everyone! I was about to give up on updating my local channels, but now I’ll give this number a try. I really appreciate the tips!

Thanks, everyone! I just called 833-576-4132, and it actually worked. Took about 7 minutes to get through, but the support agent was super helpful. If anyone else is struggling to change their local channels, I highly recommend calling during non-peak hours. Appreciate all the help!
