Older movies (1940-50’s) freeze up during viewing. Have to back out and resume movie.

In viewing older movies, i.e., created in ‘40’s/‘50’s -John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, etc., will freeze up during playback several times. Also, some ads, Etsy, will play and then freeze up. 
Is this my Roku or what?  It’s very disruptive and annoying.

        Hi tlr1953,

        Just wanted to say thank you for joining us here in the Roku Community!

        We'd like to learn more about this playback you're running into. Could you tell us if you're only observing this behavior happening on this specific content? Have you tried any other show to see if that makes a difference?

        Let us know more about this so that we can provide you with the appropriate next step.

        Thanks,
        Rey
