CNN freezes on Xfinity Streaming

CNN freezes several times an hour using streaming service

We are using an Xfinity router/modem. We are using Firestick controls and with only one TV in use at a time the image freezes for roughly 10-20 seconds several times an hour. Rarely, other channels freeze momentarily but of the channels we watch regularly CNN is the worst. It is annoying. I don't think it's the CNN signal as we have had Xfinity cable in the past and this didn't happen. We have had technicians to the house twice recently (shortly after switching to streaming) before I recognized the problem was mostly confined to CNN and they found no problems with our service. Please advise...hoping it is fixable.

Can we expect this to improve as you move past BETA stage? This is exactly like another user posted 1 year ago. I reinstalled app on FireStick. Same problem.

I also have found this happening a lot on CNN which is on all day long. Either the screen freezes and the audio keeps on going, or I lose the picture and audio entirely, happens many time during each hour.
