Solving playback issues

[shanghu7]

I’ve got an issue that is driving me crazy. I have a new Roku ultra. When I stream any football game on the Fox Sports app that is broadcasting in 4k HDR , I get frequent glitches or micro stutters every minute or so. I don’t have this issue in any other app. I downloaded the same app on my TVs built in Google TV OS and I cannot reproduce it. It’s only on the Roku. Any ideas?

1. Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the star (*) key on your remote, and choose "Remove channel".
2. Next, restart your device from Settings > System > Power > System Restart (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).
