pausing a live stream on ultra 2022 device

I am looking for a roku device that can pause a live stream like i can do with my satellite service. I do not see anything on the internet that can do this other than roku TV. Is this possible with an USB memory device in the ultra 2022 ?

No.  I don't think the TVs can pause a live stream either; just live OTA broadcasts.

does really answer the question. Tom Hardware has a configuration for pausing live TV on the roku TV solution. I really want to hear from the software developers about this

Your satellite setup has this capability because you have a DVR with a hard disk that provides recording and playback capabilities.

No Roku streaming devices have such recording/playback capabilities. With Roku streaming devices any recording capabilities must be provided by the individual channel apps using their own servers.

Roku TVs do have such a capability if you install a USB thumb drive of at least (I think) 16 mb and enable it in your settings.
