Why does my Fubo TV freeze on Roku devices

I know this has been a while since this thread was started but I'm having same problem.  I've tried all that has been mentioned, restart Roku, re-install Fubo, reset the WiFi.  It works on an other Roku in another room.  I didnt see any other solution.

Why does my Fubo TV freeze on Roku devices

It's the Roku Ultra. 

It has been happening for a while now.  At least a few weeks.

We get an error message sometimes.  When we do it is says Cannot play the content at this time.  Normally there isn't and error, it just freezes.

And I have checked the software update.  It says that all is updated.

A couple more things.  First is that it mostly happens when using Fubo.  What is odd is that we have another Roku, an Express, in another room that doesn't seem to freeze.  That led me to question if it was the Roku instead of Fubo.

Just an FYI - I did also try and uninstall and reinstall Fubo.  That didn't work.  And I've rebooted the WiFi more than once.

Hi @Pilotwan2be,

Thank you for the quick response.

We'll be happy to look further into this issue, but we need more details. Kindly provide us with the following information:

  1. Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About).
  2. What version or build is the Fubo TV on your Roku Ultra? (This can be found by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button.)
  3. Tracker ID. When you see this issue, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID.

Once we have this information, we will be able to forward it to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further.

Best regards,
Eunice

Re: Why does my Fubo TV freeze on Roku devices

Model# - 4660RW - ROKU ULTRA

Serial# - YJ001Y074735

Software Version - 12.5.5 Build 4174-46

Fubo TV version  5.3  Build 100

As for the Error ID, I'll get this for you when it comes up.  Many times it doesn't give an error it just freezes or keeps spinning.

Same issue, probably going to cancel Fubo. They need to fix this glitch!
