Youtube TV app for Apple TV hardware

How can I access the Youtube TV app for my Apple TV box?


The YouTube TV website said to just go to the Apple TV box and download the Youtube TV app.


I tried and couldn't figure out how to do this.


Any ideas?

The Apple TV (1st and 2nd generation) do not have access to YouTube anymore since 2015, I think.

The Apple TV (3rd generation) has YouTube as one of the default ‘apps’.

The Apple TV (4th generation or later) can download the YouTube app from the on-device App Store.


The YouTube TV service is different, and requires a different app. This YouTube TV app is only available for Apple TV (4th generation or later) in the US.
