"The bundling announcement by YouTube highlights the kind of predatory business practices used by Google that Congress, Attorneys General and regulatory bodies around the world are investigating." "Google’s actions are the clear conduct of an unchecked monopolist bent on crushing fair competition and harming consumer choice," a Roku spokesperson told Engadget.
It claimed Roku has used similar tactics during talks with other streaming services. Google said it wanted to renew the deal on the existing terms, and accused Roku of acting in bad faith. Roku accused Google of demanding special treatment for YouTube TV in search results and certain hardware specs that would make its devices more expensive, potentially giving Chromecast a boost as a more attractive option for consumers. If you already had the YouTube TV app on a Roku device before it vanished from the store, you'll still be able to access the service with it.
It'll be available to all YouTube TV users on Roku within the next few days. The company plans to bring YouTube TV to the main app on "as many other devices as we can over time," but it's a Roku-only feature for now. Google simply added YouTube TV to the main YouTube app with a button on the left menu bar. A week after Roku removed the YouTube TV app from its store amid a dispute, viewers have another way to watch the live TV service.
