Xfinity Stream app on LG TVs: Xfinity Stream app background images popping up randomly

For the last 2-3 months (at least that I can remember) a photo image pops up on the TV completely blocking whatever you are watching. The audio stills go on as normal, but all you see is that image!

At first I had no idea where these images (at least 2) were coming from because I couldn't remember seeing them before. I thought the TV was doing it, but the only images they have on the TV are quite different. Then I realized one day it was from the Stream app itself.

I would say this happens from 1 to 3 times per day. And the only way to clear it is to hit the back button on the TV remote to get back to the guide, then select what you want to watch again ... but that is a pain as you have to stop watching and then get back in, so you always miss some portion of what you were watching. This also occurs while you are watching a recording off the DVR list too, but at least there you can rewind it to what you missed and start over.

This happens on 2 different LG TVs that I have and is always just random.

The TVs are both updated to the latest versions of WebOS for them and the latest version of the Stream app is also on both.
