Fix Sling TV Not Working on FireStick
FireStick adequately supports Sling TV, but certain issues may often occur. Even with fast internet, some users experience video blackouts or buffering. Such issues are usually the result of the app’s data taking up more storage than it should. Try clearing the Sling TV cache and app data from FireStick settings to fix this.
