Re: MLBTV freezing during commercials

I have been having this issue for the past week or so as well.  I have tried all the recommended approaches to no avail.  I have a TCL model 65R655 Roku TV.  Hardware ID J102X. Software version 12.0.0, build 4184-DK. I don't think my model is in the previous posted list so would someone please fix this.  It is bad enough I have to pay for a service I can;t even watch.

Here is the requested information:

Roku device model: J102X

This issue started around 8/30/23.  We have tried all the steps previously stated in the Roku forum as well as recommended steps by MLB & none have worked.  As stated in the entire thread for this issue, it occurs whenever the ballgame goes to commercial.  Please let me know how you will resolve this.  Thank you.

Quick update (sorry I didn’t post sooner) but a day or so after posting, the problem mysteriously stopped. No problems since. I had a Roku 3.  Model 4200.

Re: MLBTV freezing during commercials

Any update on this?  I am still unable to use MLB.TV on my Roku.  It continues to freeze on any commercials & I can't even access it if the game is in a commercial when I try & load it.  Please help!

Re: MLBTV freezing during commercials

I tried MLB.TV on a chromecast and it works fine.  To test, I have 2 Devices, a chromecast and a Roku, both playing the same game, same wifi network, and the Roku still freezes while the chromecast works fine. This seems to be a Roku problem....

Re: MLBTV freezing during commercials

I have done all the things you have suggested several times & on different days.  It DOES NOT WORK!  It is obviously a problem with Roku & different devices accessing the MLB package.  I have several Roku devices in my house.  Some work, some don't.  Some are older some are newer but the fact that my oldest one works but my newest doesn't is a problem.  My main concern is the one I provided my info on which is a ROKU TV & not a separate Roku device.  Please figure out what is going on & get this fixed!  I don't think MLB.tv wants to hear that I won't be ordering their package next year since it won't work on my Roku TV.
