Sling has been very glitchy lately. It cuts to commercials too early so I miss part of the show. It buffers a lot and occasionally crashes so I can't watch anything. I will be canceling subscription soon if not fixed.

On my Sony TV, when ever I go to guide section, I get an expected error message with no error code that has appeared. I hit retry and the app freezes for.a.moment then fully closes out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, done hard resets, and checked foe updates on my app and my TV and the issue still persists 3 days later.

Sling keeps going back to menu In the middle of live shows. Only happens on one Samsung TV. The other works fine. I’ve deleted/reinstalled app, rebooted internet router, etc. What else can I do to fix this. It’s frustrating to watch a show only to constantly have to go back to menu.

App keeps freezing and it freezes on screen. Have to keep logging out and back in. It’s a waste of money when i can’t get to watch anything on tv with frozen picture.
