Setting up your custom channel list on YouTube TV is simple and takes as long as you want it to. You could spend all day rearranging things and hiding as many channels as you like.

So if you want to watch them, you'll need to enable them manually.

• Go to tv.youtube.com in a web browser.
• Click your profile picture in the top right.
• Select Settings from the dropdown options.
• Click Live Guide in the navigation on the left.
• To disable a channel, click the red checkmark so it disappears. To enable a channel, click the empty circle. To reorder channels, hold the two-line handles on the left and drag them up or down.
