My Roku express device does the same thing. It locks-up at the end of all ads that want you to sign-up for a free trial and the Roku ads. Very frustrating!!

Thanks John, for getting back with me. The commercials only freezes up; when I'm trying to watch something on the Roku channel. 

Thanks

Re: Roku Branded Commercials Freeze

It is getting worse. The newest commercials are doing the same thing. I would think that the roku solvers would have enough sense to review your production process or to try to identify the individual(s) in their employment that are causing this. Surely enough have been reported to Identify the cause, and to resolve and to prevent the issue. The only other option  is that this is intentional to require those of us with older units to buy an updated version.

Re: Roku Branded Commercials Freeze

my unit is less than 2 years old, I'd be **bleep** If i give them another dime. 

My assumption is they just don't care.
