YouTube TV is down for many, showing a blank screen instead of liveTV.
YouTube TV — the most popular livestreaming service in the U.S. — is having some major hiccups early Tuesday evening.
A post on on the status page of competing service Philo , which also appears to be affected, points toward an outage in Google’s Widevine DRM service that started about 6 p.m. ET. According to its website, Widevine “provides the capability to license, securely distribute. and protect playback of content on any consumer device.” In other words, exactly the sort of thing a streaming service would need — and also the sort of thing that could single-handedly take down an entirely streaming service.
The outage comes the same day YouTube TV announced that it now supports 5.1 surround sound on Apple TV, though there’s no indication of any correlation.
