Sports on my Sony Bravia Google TV 4K DirecTV stream app stutter

I have a Sony Bravia 4k TV with built in Google TV.  When I watch sports on the DirecTV app, there is a lot of stuttering.  If available, I can watch the same game on a different app (like ESPN app) and there is no stuttering so it is isolated to the DirecTV app.  I have a 1GB wired internet connection so there are no speed or bandwidth issues as I can stream on various other devices with no issues.  I've made sure the DirecTV app is up to date as well as Google TV.  So, I'm looking for help to resolve this problem.  What can I do?

The specific channel this time was our local ABC station.  I have the same issue with ESPN and other ESPN broadcast (SEC network) and FS1.  When I use the ESPN app or the Fox Sports app, the same broadcast on the same TV has no issues.  I looked at the troubleshooting steps.  Though there are none for Sony or Google TV, i have made dure the app is up to date and have cleared the cache.  Also, I have checked many of the setting of the TV.  Nothing seems to help.
