Question About YouTube TV on ATV

by DeltaEchoXray

I am doing a YouTube TV trial right now and possibly switching to it from PS Vue. I use a Shield and Mi Boxes in my house on all of the TVs. Vue has a feature in the settings to stop the stream after so many hours of inactivity. I haven't found any such setting in the YouTube TV app. Does any one know if the YouTube TV app will continue to use data while the Mi Box or Shield sleep if the app is not exited prior to the device going to sleep?

When the device goes to sleep the stream ends AFAIK, but this is not specific to YouTube TV, any app does the same.

You can try by opening any video on youtube, kodi, plex or whatever and telling the ATV to go to sleep.

Just exit the app when you're done

It will stop.and ask if you are still watching but I don't know what the time frame is. You can't set it yourself though.
