This continues to be on-going issue and annoyance for myself as well. This clearly an issue with Roku as no other devices are experiencing this. Please come up with a solution soon, Roku. This happening more frequently. As others have stated, it’s time for this to be addressed.

Same thing happens when my wife is watching the USA channel amongst others. She's pissed. This should've been fixed by now. It's known all over Reddit's YouTubeTV subreddit also, they just ask for data but don't actually fix the issue.

Mine was already unchecked. That wasn't the issue.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience.

We would recommend checking to see if you have limit ad tracking enabled on your Roku device. You can check by going to:

Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking > uncheck this box

Once this complete, try checking to see if you are still seeing the issue occur.

Please keep us posted what you find out!

 

Thanks,
Danny

I do not have that option. After going to "Advertising" I can either reset advertising identifier or personalize ads I have no option to limit ad tracking. However, once when the black frozen screen appeared I went up in the left corner where it says "ad info" and clicked on it I believe it instructed me to go to my google advertising settings maybe that might help. YouTube TV is run/owned by Google, correct? I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue with ROKU that isn't using YouTube TV

I don't know who "Danny" is speaking for nor where he works, but he obviously has no clue how to fix this ongoing problem.  For me, I ditched Roku and told my family not to buy the product because of its streaming issues that are well-documented and known for months.
