3820R2 Stick won't run PBS app, goes back to home screen

I have the exact same problem someone reported with an Ultra, except mine is a 4k Stick model 3820R2 that just finally updated to OS 14 on 11/16.   On 11/17, I tried to run the PBS app but it repeatedly crashes out and goes to back to home screen.
Roku: 3820R2 Stick
OS 14.0.4 build 12230
PBS app: Version 5.8, build 3
Internet provider: Spectrum broadband

I'm reporting that since this latest Roku OS upgrade, the PBS app is failing to load. It starts, displays the blue and white PBS screen, then switches to a black /gray blank screen without text, displays that less than 1 minute, then the app crashes out and goes back to the Roku home screen. These appear to be the latest Roku OS for this model, and also the latest available version of the PBS Roku channel. The 3820R2 4k Stick is my last Roku player to update to some version of OS 14, this update happened on 11/16, and this Roku is the only one of 6 or 7 in my house that won't run the PBS channel after its OS 14 upgrade. I don't know to whom I should report this, but since Roku channels are not created by Roku, I am reporting it to both PBS and Roku .  

I have tried clear cache, restart Roku, power off and restart both Roku and tv, delete and reinstall the Roku PBS channel, tried this Stick on a different tv, etc, etc. It just won't run PBS after this OS update. all other channels function normally.
