Channels freeze when fast forwarding

When is this issue going to be resolved? Just asking before I go back to Hulu from YouTube. I cannot fast forward without the channel freezing - doesn't matter what channel it is. 

It's pretty unconscionable that this has not been resolved.

Re: Channels freeze when fast forwarding

I just got an update to my Roku Ultra (OS 14), but not sure which "future update" is going to fix that YouTube TV freezing issue.  Or even if it will be a Roku update... maybe it'll be a YouTube TV update?  The "solution" listed on this forum offers no useful details.

Re: Channels freeze when fast forwarding

Just had my YouTube TV freeze up again after fast-forwarding, even after the Roku OS 14 update. So I guess it's still a "future update" that will address this.

Are there Roku Ultra models that are known to NOT be affected by this?
