Home Screen Not Working - Can't Hover Over Channels to Select

In just the past few days, our home screen on Roku has not been working properly, the channels take a long time to show up and then when you try to hover over them you cannot click them or sometimes the highlighted (white) frame around the channel won't move, or just goes to the promoted Roku larger box.
 
What has changed?  Is Roku now forcing people to upgrade with a new stick or box?   I also noticed, with our device, (a Roku stick) I am no longer eligible for support.  Real nice.

      We did do a system update last night and there was no change.  Still cannot use the home page. 

      It says v. 11 and I just tried now and it says no new update.
