Second, not to require access to data not available to anyone else. First, not to manipulate consumer search results. We have only asked Google for four simple commitments. Roku has not asked for one dollar of additional financial consideration from Google to renew YouTube TV. We are disappointed that Google has allowed our agreement for the distribution of YouTube TV to expire. Existing users will continue to be able to use the YouTube TV app on their Roku devices, but new users won't be able to sign up. Here is Roku's full statement: With the two companies unable to come to an agreement, Roku says the YouTube TV app-an app for a $65-per-month service that delivers 85+ live cable TV channels over the Internet, not the normal YouTube app-has been pulled from the Roku channel store. The main point of contention seems to be over the AV1 video codec, a new, more efficient video standard that seems poised to be the new standard going forward. Google and Roku are squabbling over Roku's carrying agreement, just like you might see in an old-school cable TV carriage dispute. This morning, the company announced that YouTube TV is no longer available on the Roku Channel Store. Roku warned us on Monday that this could happen.
