Interesting and frustrating experience trying to find a way to manage (e.g., reorganize TV guide list like selecting channels to See/Hide for YouTube TV App on a Fire TV or Samsung Smart TV. I could install the Android YouTube TV app and Chrome is my Windows browser, both giving me the capability for management. But any change don on Chrome was NOT pushed to the TV. The Android also had it's own problems.
There are two locations (HOME and PLAYBACK) for each device. HOME is the base and should be your ZipCode or General ZipCode. PLAYBACK location is dynamic and "Pushed" from the Android to other Google devices with YouTube TV installed. If the PLAYBACK isn't the same as another, the push will be ignored. In my case, say TV is set to my location, as is the Android, then all should be good. But my Chrome was the Generic location, call it GL for the general city zip Code determine by a Geo-Location method, whereas, the other two used a precise location (my location within the general zip Code which we will call PL). A pair match is required for synchronization.
If Chrome has GL and TV has PL, this mismatch will prevent synchronization and handshake rejecting changes made on Chrome YouTube TV. In their terms, Chrome can never PUSH it's PLAYBACK to another device. But then, how do you get Chrome to get a PLAYBACK of PL since its geo-location can only recognize GL?
To change the CHROME PLAYBACK to PL you have to PUSH it from your phone (Android or other) which uses GPS to determine it's precise location PL. The trick is to bring up YouTube TV on both, using the same Google Account ID (an email) on each. Then on Chrome you go to Locations (Profile > Location > find PLAYBACK > Hit the UPDATE (this will get PL from Android via Google and update Chrome Playback from GL to PL.
Now with PL in Chrome go to your TV and check its locations on YouTube TV (Profile>Location>Playback and ensure the same as on Chrome, i.e., both PL. A match means you will be able to make changes on Chrome and see the results on TV too.
You do NOT want to troubleshoot the mismatch issue with a YouTube TV rep that does NOT realize a match is required! After days, I posed the question of mismatch and they were surprised. But they could then tell me how to get PLAYBACK onto Chrome after many issues with Data and Cache errors cluttering up the ball game. The many, many attempts were painful. Should you run into issues, details of my pain list could help. Just respond with a comment here and I'll try to get you on track.
