Solved! can't find youtube tv app on roku

[pacmour]

My Roku is up to date and I searched for YouTube TV and it doesn't come up. Is my Roku too old? Say it is a 3500x

If its anything like youtube on the firestick, its been pulled from the app list.
Youtube is a google IP, and since google has the chromecast, they restricted it to their own hardware.

I just went and did a search on my roku. Went to menu and chose streaming channels, then search stream channels. If found:
You Tube and You Tube tv.
Don' t know if this is what you are looking for. I use them and did not try them out.

I searched in the same area w/ and w/out the space in "YouTube" and still no YouTube TV. I'm thinking either I have an older Roku or what Gam3r01 mentioned is correct. ??

Strange, I do not know what the difference is. unless it is a matter of location.
I have 2 roku's and they both show the same thing. I have a roku streaming stick and a roku express plus.
When I go to search streaming channels and type in YOU
The list on the right shows

I just found this (date feb 2018):

Hmmm. It is available in my area. Looking at the options on my Roku it just says Roku 3500x. I did purchase it awhile ago and through the pictures, it looks like an Express one. Thanks for your time. I'm giving up trying.
