It never left... you could access YTTV from the Youtube Roku channel

Good, now maybe Google can update the app now, it has not been running at it’s best lately.

Been running YTTV regularly every day with my
Roku Ultras. It was never gone?????

Correct. It could (can) be accessed through the Youtube app on Roku.

True, but the YTTV app never went away, only new users could not download it.

^This. It was no longer in the Roku app store, so even if you were a longtime user and needed to reinstall the YTTV app for bug fixing purposes, you couldn't get it back. But yes, the regular YouTube work-around was still in play, but that would've been gone (for new users and re-installers) on Dec. 9 without the new deal.
