    Sling TV app buffering every 2 seconds


    Disclaimer: My ISP provides me with 60 Mb/s download speeds. Sling TV works great on my wireless Roku 3 and wireless laptops. Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and other apps have zero problems on my Xbox One.

    Sling TV is constantly buffering on the Xbox One and its a wired connection. Searching about this issue tells me I'm far from being alone. The fact that Sling TV does not have a forum here says a lot. Many newer, lesser used apps, have a forum here.

    I realize that the ultimate burden is with Sling TV but why do I have the feeling their servers are forced to be on the Microsoft network much like they did with Netflix?

    :)

    Sling TV & Redzone

    Sling TV repeatedly lags, freezes, or just simply shuts itself down and closes throughout the day. Today watching Redzone it is constantly buffering or just freezing. Are there any future performance improvements planned?

    This is not a user internet connection / router issue and I must conclude it is related to the XBOX One app. Confirmed by watching Sling TV on a Mac using the same wireless connection as the XBOX One which results in zero buffering / freezing events.

    Thank you for any useful feedback.

    Sling TV app crashing constantly

    Watching SEC Network on XB1 and SlingTV. Constants "circle of buffering." So, I brought down my ROKU, removed the CAT5 and HDMI from XB1, plugged it into ROKU and Sling TV has been solid. I think Sling on XB1 is just broken.

    Hey everyone!

    Sorry to hear about the issues with the Sling TV app! If you haven't already, I recommend trying a few troubleshooting steps to see if we can get this issue sorted:

    • First, navigate to My games & apps from the Home screen.
    • From the apps tab, select the Sling TV app.
    • Press the menu button on your Xbox One controller.
    • Select Manage app and press the menu button.
    • Select Uninstall.
    • Once the Sling TV app has uninstalled, press and hold the power button on your Xbox One console for 10 seconds.
    • Unplug the power cord to your Xbox One console and unplug the power cord to your router, modem or gateway.
    • Wait 5 minutes and the plug in your console, router, modem or gateway.
    • Power on your console and navigate to My games & apps from the Home screen.
    • Scroll to the right and select the Sling TV app under the Ready to install section.
    • Select Install and once the app has installed, check to see if you are running into the same issue.

    Give the suggested steps a try and if the issue continues to occur, I recommend reaching out to Sling TV for further assistance. You can reach Sling TV from their Contact Us page.
    Feel free to post back letting us know how everything went. Thanks!
