Roku streambar YouTube TV and Netflix

My Roku streambar (small) fails to show YouTubeTV home screen without getting all scrambled looking. Also, Netflix audio crackles when starting a show and sometimes freezes when trying to resume play after pause. I have already checked for updates for streambar and apps. Already removed and reinstalled both apps. No changes. Please help. Note problem does not happen when I disconnect streambar and hook up my old 4k Roku streaming device. I have gigabit Ethernet with no issues. Again any ideas?

Re: Roku streambar YouTube TV and Netflix

Having same issue with roku streambar pro on YouTube TV.  continually distorted when scrolling home page, and sometimes when going into a show from home tab. Most of the time now, I  can't even seen multi view options anymore. I tried removing the app, restarting, and reinstalling YouTube tv app.  all roku is up to date.  live tv and library tabs work fine.  this was working fine a few weeks ago.

Re: Roku streambar YouTube TV and Netflix

this is the only channel I'm having issues with. I have a lot of other streaming channels, but no issue. I also removed a couple streaming apps, in case there was a memory issue with the roku. this is a new problem, wasn't happening when I installed the Roku streambar pro in December 2023.  feel free to reach out to me directly if you need further info.
