I detest my LG TV. It has been more difficult since day one and constantly logged me out of apps when updating, never added HBO channel for years (may still not be there) though I was able to finally find the AppleTV app and add it to the LG channel line up, but I never watch anything from there. The LG interface is just a right headache, which is not what you want when curling up in bed to watch tv. Beautiful picture, terrible interface.
My older Samsung has run flawlessly with the same Roku system as on the LG.
Which is just to say, you and/or Roku are likely not the problem. I think that is the same Roku system I have (I've had a couple) but I now completely bypass the LG buttons. I pointed the LG channel mgr to my hdmi1 port where my Roku is plugged in, left it there, and only watch thru my Roku now. There is less cursing that way. The only issue I have occasionally is the Roku remote power/volume interface (to LG) sometimes drops off my Roku remote and I have to grab the LG remote to mute, etc. I can't compare that to my Samsung because it has a soundbar and the roku remote won't power up/control those at all (seems that shouldn't be insurmountable, Roku? A rhetorical question.
