I just got youtube TV, and i’m having a problem getting back to the live menu without continuously clicking the back button and going back through everything I had to go through getting to where I was. Undestand what I’m saying, or am I confusing y’all???
Just learned this myself. Turn on your TV. Click and hold Alexa button on Amazon Firestick, and for say example “Alexa tune into NBC. You’ll go to your NBC station, if you want another, click the reverse arrow button and scroll to choice your subscribed to. If you don’t have a Firestick, highly recommend.
