When using Roku Express with most apps get vertical lines on tv

In the last month I have had difficulty in using my Roku Express with my Samsung UE32h6400ak. Most of the apps I use will only display properly on my tv for about 40 minutes before developing vertical lines on the tv screen( e.g. ITVx, My 5, Channel 4). The only app that I can use without this problem is BBCiPlayer.

I have contacted Samsung and ITVx who have said I should Contact Roku.

I was wondering if the apps with which the TV develops vertical lines have had a software change which my tv cannot support properly? 

Any help would be welcome. THank you
