When I tried to set up my YouTube account on my new Apple TV and wanted to open my favorites, everything I got was: “No content was found. There is a problem communicating with YouTube. Try again later.” There is another post and a lot of people around the world is having the same problem. It seems a worldwide problem. Any advice on what to do? Thanks!

Not only ATV. I’m having issues with iPhone and iPad too, either on embedded Youtube frameworks or on iOS Youtube native application. Videos fail right from the start or are played dark (sound and not image).
i really don’t get why any one would want to showcase a youtube video on a tv.
When I got home last night and turned my HDTV on and switched it over to my Apple TV there was a message asking me if I wanted to upgrade it. This happened without any input from me.
I then spent the next five hours watching weird You Tube videos. It’s like slowing down and straining to see a bloody gory accident as you drive by.
