DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names (like youtube.com) into IP addresses. If your Smart TV's DNS settings are incorrect or experiencing issues, it may fail to connect to YouTube's servers. Try changing your TV's DNS settings to public DNS servers like Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) in your TV's network settings.
