So far, it looks like it's no longer freezing.  I was away from home until a week ago, so I wasn't using my Roku, and it hasn't happened since I returned.  Looks good so far.

Just FYI, while I was 3000 miles away, on April 16 - 18, I was using a Roku in an Airbnb, and logging on to my own YTTV account.  It was freezing just like it did at home, but this was while using someone else's Roku.
