Older movies (1940-50’s) freeze up during viewing. Have to back out and resume movie.
In viewing older movies, i.e., created in ‘40’s/‘50’s -John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, etc., will freeze up during playback several times. Also, some ads, Etsy, will play and then freeze up. Is this my Roku or what? It’s very disruptive and annoying.
