I went ahead and restarted everything, but Im fairly certain this is not a network issue. Its not buffering, its pausing. Im sitting here with the remote in my hand, and everytime it pauses, ill unpause it and it will be good for like 5-10 mins. It is like someone else is using another remote and pausing it, but that's not possible. I also just noticed it acted like the back button was pressed as it exited the TV show I was watching.
While rebooting everything, I did notice the roku is being powered via a USB on the TV. I went ahead and swapped it to a USB block plugged into my 120v wall socket. Will watch it some more and report back.
