YouTube TV is confusing. [View all]

I recently signed up for YouTube TV, which is a streaming service that I can get through my Roku device. But I'm finding it very non-intuitive. Stuff that should be easy isn't.

Sometimes I stop watching in the middle of a movie or in an episode of a TV show. When I come back, I would like to continue from where I stopped, but that doesn't seem to happen. Instead, I have to start from the beginning and fast forward through what I already watched. Grrrr.
