Clearly this is systemic. We replaced our last Roku Express with a new one, I can’t recall why. Some intermittent error like the pausing described here. The new one does exactly what everyone here describes. Out of the box. We’ve had it for probably a year now and it hasn’t changed. I can see no pattern. It doesn’t bug me too much, so I live with it. We’ll probably replace our Roku with a competing device. Not sure which yet. The express is inexpensive enough, and I’d be happy to pay more for an upgraded Roku, but I don’t need the 4k and I have no guarantee that the new system won’t suffer the same issues.
just wanted to add another data point. This is a real issue.
