Parts of video display incorrectly

I watch many TV series on the Roku channel. Recently two series - That Girl S2 E13 ans The Real McCoys S1  E20 started displaying parts of the video blurry (not enough pixels).  Removing them from Continue Watching and adding them back did not solve problem.

The problem is not with the Roku channel because all other series in the Continue Watching list display correctly, so it must be the channel Roku is getting the videos from.  That Girl is from Filmrise, don't kow where the other is from.  With this problem I can no longer watch those two series.

    The episodes with distorted video on the Roku (That Girl S2E13 and The Real McCoys S1E20) play fine on the FreeVee Channel.  Removed them from the Roku Channel and will now watch those series on the FreeVee Channel.

    • Restart your Roku device: Home > Settings > System > Power. "If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step." System restart.

      It is the Roku channel. I have removed the app and added it back. My issue started three days ago when the format changed for the program guide.

      I have two televisions with streaming sticks, I have one Roku TV in my home and my mother has a Roku TV in her home. Different locations, IP addresses and Internet providers. All televisions are responding the same. The problem started about three days ago when the format to the programs guide changed.

      Examples the Doris Day Show and Here’s Lucy and That Girl. Blurry.
