Still broken. The noise screen freezes started with the YouTube app and now YouTube TV has joined the fun. There is obviously a bug in Google's code because no other app exhibit this problem.

So you’re going to reward Google for their poor app on the Roku by buying a Google product? Remember, Google is responsible for the functionality of the YouTube apps on Roku devices, not Roku.
I've decided the best solution for me is to just upgrade to the latest version of the Ultra. It looks like the YouTube problem has something to do with some core protocol issue in the Roku 3 firmware that that Roku can't or won't update and I prefer the app-first UI of Roku to the content-first UI of the others.
