As an FYI, Live TV suffers from this same issue on the 918+ for both .1966 & .1973. The entire view shows artifacts. I had mentioned it here . I suspect it has to do with the updated drivers used for transcoding. I did not have these artifacts in .1944.

Two development efforts are at work: Correct the issue with the Intel-provided iHD video driver (if possible). Automatically select the i965 driver if necessary. Intel’s roadmap is to support only the iHD driver.

Any news regarding this issue? An update came out but I’m still unable to watch anything on my RokuTV
