I've had YTTV for years without a problem, running it on a Roku stick, but last night for the first time it started taking a very long time (like, a full minute) from the YTTV logo until it got to the standard interface with live TV, library, etc. In between these two all I got was a blank screen.

So far I've tried un-installing and re-installing the YTTV app on my Roku several times. I've also signed out and in again. (And boy, was that a mistake. Because it's so slow, it made me go through the whole sign-in process three times in a row before it actually "took".) And finally I've unplugged and restarted the Roku several times.

The problem persisted all day today. I don't think it has anything to do with the Roku, because all the other apps on there work fine. And the YTTV app on my phone isn't having any issues. So at this point I'm stumped and just hoping that this is a YTTV app problem that will get fixed with the next update.

It's been my experience that once a router reaches about five years of age, it starts losing connections, running slow, etc.

At least that's what's happened to me in the past, and now five years later it's happening again. I'm rebooting it fairly frequently just to keep it going. So I'm thinking it's time.

Is five years or so considered the typical life expectancy of a router? Thanks.
