Solving playback issues

[MrBluePlaydoh]

So i started to notice on my 2 Roku 2 boxes that since an update its getting real slow some apps some times completely freeze or kick you back to home screen so i rang my mother up who also has a roku 2 box that i bought her and same thing also a guy at work same thing thats 4 boxes all slowing right down which only a restart will fix it.

This has to be Roku doing this to force us to get their new sticks! disgrace!

I also want to add seems every update you FORCE on to us messes some thing up! how come the minstra player has just suddenly just gone?

There are 5 different versions labeled as a Roku 2. Three are officially no longer supported, and the remaining two are now 6 1/2 and 8 years old, regardless how long you've had them. That's why you were asked what model you have.

Frankly, a newer Roku would far outperform even the newest of the Roku 2 players (the 4210 was the most recent model). The latest Express 4K+ has double the operating memory, eight times the channel storage memory, and a far, far faster processor. You would also get 4K/HDR/Dolby Vision support. Even if your existing TV isn't 4K, your next one very likely will be. 

As to the minstra player, Roku doesn't create or support 3rd party channels. It's entirely possible that the channel developer stopped supporting it. I looked in the channel store and found nothing with that name. Roku only removes channels that are in violation of their licensing agreement. The usual cause for that is offering content without the legal authorization to do so. I'm not saying that is what happened, as I have no personal idea myself.
