@HBOMaxHelp @K_Curry_ It's everything HBO max. You know this. It's roku. Its fire TV. It Chromecast. It's xbox. It's playstation. It's every streaming device. You hang. You clearly don't know why but it's for a higher up engineer than than the help desk on Twitter to figure out.

@YouTubeTV Any chance that this broke everything since TV service is completely unavailable via fire TV Roku Desktop for Northern and Central Indiana. I swear to god if you tell me to update, restart, or re-login to fix this, I will be pissed.

Well I keep getting "error licensing" this video. Looks like Google forgot to pay their bills! No it's down on Roku but it is fully functional on the Android App.
