There’s a line that shows up in the middle of the TV only when I watch Thursday Night Football. I also get issues of buffering during commercials. The buffer happens so often that I get the network buffering message at the bottom of the screen. I know it isn’t a network issue because the other TV my son is using doesn’t buffer while he is watching movies on Netflix. 

This issue has been consistent each week I watch Thursday night football.

We have a Roku tv doing the same thing. The only thing that fixes it is to go out of the stream and go back in.
