Why is YouTube TV Blurry?
There a 4 possible reasons why your Youtube TVโs picture looks blurry and its usually because of small dropouts in the internet connection which drop the resolution quality, however, what happens if its not related to your wifi connection.
Iโm going to give you just a little heads-up that it could be related to your internet provider likely experiencing a buffering issue in your area which could pertain to outages in data centres or nodes that have some technical difficulties.
This can cause some sluggishness to your internet connection and as a result, itโs affecting your video quality
1. Video Quality
The other thing to blame in this case is the video quality. The fact that it indicated that the video quality is 1080p doesnโt mean it is going to stream with that quality. There are a lot of youtube channels that upload with an average of 550p, meaning that the video quality has to be boosted or this issue will persist.
Video quality can also be affected by your hardware or out-of-date software, make sure your device is fully updated that includes firmware, video card and the youtube App itself.

But if you havenโt go to the respective app store on your app and search the YT app on the app store and click the update button.

A glitch with the app can equally be to blame for this issue. There are a few things to check, but most likely it is going to be caused by some sort of an update causing the app to crash in a video or glitch resolution or some cases conflicts in stored data.
The best way to fix this is by powering down your device and restarting it.
