Sling TV commercials freezing, shows are ok. Anyone else?

I have a great internet connection: It does it even when hard-wired to my router. No one else is using my bandwidth. But the clue is, it only happens to commercials, not shows. Anyone else?

I think that DNS based ad-blockers, possibly others, are becoming more common.

Are you watching on a computer or smart TV/Roku/streaming device?

Googling "Samsung Smart TV Hulu ads" (leaving out the quotes) turns up quite a bit.

The only other thing I can think of is to try to watch the same Hulu content on another device, that might narrow things down to either the RV or the router.
