Roku Channels goes black screen during commercial breaks

When it does play, the commercial breaks give it a nervous breakdown and goes black then kicks me out. 

I removed the Roku Channel, then re-added it. I'm in now and watching to see if this fixed the commercial issue. All other suggestions proposed from Roku, I've tried have not worked.

As I'm writing this, must be a commercial, screen is black. Nope kicked me out and I'm back to the Continued Watching home screen. So frustrating.

    UPDATE........Ok I think I figured it out. I have a VPN Router plugged into my other Router.  When I am streaming through the VPN Router I get a black screen and kicked out during commicerals. When I'm streaming with the other Router, no issues and see the commercials and it goes back to playing the show.

    I don't understand why VPN is ok until there's a commiceral. Logic tells me I should run into issues when I  access it to start with.
