Troubleshooting notification issues

You should receive an alert for live airings of selected programs when you turn on notifications by selecting Notify .

If you don't get a notification, it may be because:

• Notifications are not enabled on your device. You can turn notifications on in your device's settings.
• YouTube TV sets limits on how many notifications you can get in a 10-minute period. We may hold off sending you more notifications if you get several notifications during the same period.
• An episode or event is a rerun, not a new airing, so we wouldn't send you a notification.
