WatchESPN Picture Flicker/Jerking

[yjnkdawg]

I got my Roku Ultra hooked up yesterday, and am watching a little of tonight's game and sure enough, it's jerky. With my old non-4K Roku, it wasn't jerky but would pause for a second or two, and sometimes even freeze. So I think what you posted is true ... it's trying to upcovert to 60 fps and the ESPN output is only 30 fps. I'm not sure how to do the auto-correct fix.

One thing to ask you: Are you getting a 60fps connection? I'm not. I went and bought a Premium HDMI 2.2 capable cable, and the hookup is listed as only 30fps. My television should be 2.2 capable, since it's only a year or so old. It's a 65" LG OLED HDR. The HDMI inputs are not labeled as being HDCP 2.2 capable, but looking on the Crutchfield site, it says that all the HDMIs on my set are 2.2. I never could find the specs in the online LG manual.

Are you getting a 60fps connection?

The new Ultra is considerably faster to load things than my old stick was.

Not sure on that. I'll have to check on it. Mine went crazy tonight. Even the commercial ads had refresh issues. The TV screen would blank out (solid blue color) and then the ads would become herky jerky. Then they may blank out again and clear up (weird). I got the error message that this was not a part of my tv package. I have gotten that several times over the last week. I even got a message that I had too much concurrent streaming , and I was being logged out because I had exceeded my limit (whatever that means), and if I had any questions to contact ESPN. I have been in contact with ROKU Support and sent them a lot of info. We will see what happens. I am going to contact ESPN again.


Was your Ultra in a package or packing box? They just stuck the shipping sticker on the actual ROKU box. So mine could have gotten banged around in transit.
