Re: Multiple apps just freeze when going to ads
As reported under the SUBJECT: Prime and Netflix crashing I'm posting here as well for those only watching this thread:
Finally had a chance to catch one. While watching Netflix, I stopped watching The Meg about 3 minutes into it and started another movie and noticed a slow down and was sure it was going to crash. Sure enough, Out to the Main Screen!
So here's the IRT as you asked:

Re: Multiple apps just freeze when going to ads
Sure is a lot of us having the same problem that recently started. My question is " What has Roku done recently to make this occur ?"

Check out the comments at
https://community.roku.com/t5/Discussions/Prime-and-Netflix-crashing-on-Roku-TV/m-p/928866#M40833
for more info on the issue. Roku has acknowledged the problem but has not provided any updates or timeframe for a solution. You can also find my previous comments by clicking on my profile and searching for my last few comments.
Leaving a review of the product at the point of purchase can help raise awareness of the issue. Negative reviews may be particularly effective in encouraging Roku to take action.

Re: Multiple apps just freeze when going to ads
I have the same problem and have restarted my modem and my ROKU device. Nothing has worked. Ads are still freezing up and I have to exit and go back in.
With all of us having this problem, seems like it's ROKU's problem?

Re: Multiple apps just freeze when going to ads
Hi @community users,
Thank you for keeping us posted here in the Roku Community!
We would be more than happy to look further into this issue, but we will need more details. Can you please provide us with the following information?
- Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About).
- Does this issue occur on a specific channel? If so, what channel and what version or build is the channel (this can be found by selecting the channel on the home screen and pressing the * button)?
- Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID).
- What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
Once we have this information, we will be able to pass it along to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further.
Thanks,
John

Re: Multiple apps just freeze when going to ads
I am seeing the same symptom. No update since 11/23? Ads freeze in Roku TV.. we have to back out, and scroll forward through the episode to the freeze point, and watch more ads. Please fix this!!!
