Also just checking out the BBC iPlayer App and so far the BBC 1 and BBC 2 channels watching live freezes after about 10 seconds of playing where the sound continues to play fine 
Going to check out a few more Apps on the Roku Plus Stick, then i think i might fire off an email to Roku Support about all these bugs since firmware 8.1.0 was rolled out

I have reported this to the BBC through their iplayer help pages. They have so far been unable to replicate it because they don't have a stick+
I also presume they don't have the latest software on their Roku devices. Maybe more reports of the issue could push them to seek a solution.
Hi @Anonymous User
Just noticed your post on the Roku US forum and like you have reported i am getting the same identical issue when attempting to watch an Amazon UHD video, where it continually loads and eventually a message pops up on the screen saying "streaming delay" back to menu or keep waiting
The Amazon UHD videos was working perfectly fine before the new Roku firmware update where i watched an episode of The Grand Tour in UHD this week on my Roku Stick Plus.
Looks to me that all these bugs are pointing to the Roku firmware 8.1.0 release where i am going to gather more information and undertake more testing before contacting Roku Support.

I don't currently have an Amazon sub as I tend to dip in and out of Amazon depending on what's available for me to watch. Since the Roku 8.1 update however it takes an age for my UHD/HDR programmes to load on Netflix. They play ok but on occasion I have to back out and try again to get the programmes to load up.

The BBC appear to have fixed the iplayer issue going by my testing this evening.
As for NowTV and the Sky News app, guess what, NO change

Good show. It can't do any harm going down another avenue. It's gone beyond frustrating now
