(In fact, the original AirTV tuner worked with a separate AirTV app on Apple TV, which wasn’t integrated with Sling, but this app doesn’t work with the AirTV 2.). On the other end, all other apps in Roku are working well and I can also access Sling in my mac or iphone, so it seems the problem is only the Sling app on Roku. Any ideas on how to address this?

Make sure that your devices are on and nearby
Check that your AirPlay-compatible devices are on. If your Apple TV is in Sleep mode and uses Ethernet, wake your Apple TV with the remote.
Make sure that your AirPlay-compatible device is near the device that you're trying to stream from. If you can't connect to an AirPlay device, try moving closer to it and try again.
To stream audio to multiple speakers with AirPlay 2, make sure that your speakers are compatible with AirPlay 2.
Check for updates
Make sure that all of your devices are compatible with AirPlay and updated to the latest software version. Learn how to check for updates on:
- HomePod*
- Smart TVs
Connect your devices to the same Wi-Fi network
- iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Also, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
- Apple TV: Go to Settings > Network. If your Apple TV uses Ethernet, check that the cable is plugged into the router that you use for Wi-Fi.
- Mac: Click in the menu bar.
- HomePod:* HomePod uses the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device it was set up with. If your iOS device is in range of HomePod and connected to a different Wi-Fi network, HomePod will show an alert in the Home app that says 'Wi-Fi Network.” To connect HomePod to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device, open the Home app, press and hold HomePod, tap Settings, then tap 'Move HomePod to [Wi-Fi network]' at the top of the screen.
- Third-party AirPlay-compatible speakers and Smart TVs: Go to the manufacturer’s website to learn how to connect them to your Wi-Fi network.
Check your AirPlay settings
If you can’t AirPlay to an Apple TV or HomePod,* check the AirPlay settings for that device.
- On Apple TV, you might have restricted who can AirPlay.
- On HomePod,* you might have restricted speaker access.
- For AirPlay 2, you might need to invite others to control your home so they can AirPlay to your devices.
If you're using a Mac or PC, you can't AirPlay to HomePod* if you select Only People Sharing This Home.

If your music unexpectedly stops
If your music stops playing unexpectedly, use your device or Siri to start playing music again. In some situations, the Home app might be using your HomePod,* Apple TV, or AirPlay-compatible speaker as the main audio source for streaming music (even if your HomePod* or Apple TV isn’t currently playing music). Using Siri on that device or performing another task might cause playback to stop everywhere. You can also use an iOS device or computer with iTunes as an audio source to manually stream music instead.

If your content gets interrupted or your network lags
If you have a weak Wi-Fi signal or interference from a nearby device, like a microwave or baby monitor, try the following:
- Make sure that you use the recommended settings for your Wi-Fi router.
- Move or turn off other devices that might cause interference.
- If you're trying to AirPlay to Apple TV, try connecting your Apple TV directly to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi.
Your AirPlay connection might get interrupted when you lock your device, put it to sleep, or switch to a different app.
Mac always use app to open. Proceed as if you were going to open the document using the contextual menu, but don’t select Open With just yet. Instead, press and hold the Option key down. Just as with the top-level menus. Update macOS and all your apps. A lot of users experienced similar problems to this when Apple.

Sling TV has been a beneficiary of cord cutter’s movement to all things digital. It’s the #1 live TV streaming service today. For a list of what’s available and pricing, check out our Sling Blue vs Orange channels comparison guide.
Install Sling Tv App
With anything digital, you can expect hiccups and bugs. We’re here to help you troubleshoot issues and errors you’re having with your streams and find that buffering fix you’re looking for. Here are the steps to take.
Check to see if Sling TV is down
The first thing you should do is visit downdetector.com and check to see if Sling has an outage. If Sling is indeed down, you’ll see people reporting it from all over the country or a particular region.

Check your wifi and/or internet connection
The second thing you should always do is check your internet connection, especially if you’re on wifi. Is your streaming device getting adequate signal? You might say hey, I have internet elsewhere so Sling should be working. Not necessarily. You need to check it on the device you’re streaming on. For Roku devices, go to Settings -> Network connection and make sure that the internet is getting data. Sometimes on Roku players, you have to refresh and reconnect the wifi connection every once in awhile. For mobile or tablets, go to your wifi settings, disconnect and reconnect to your existing wifi to make sure you’re getting fresh signal. If you’re not getting internet connection to your device, then there’s something wrong with your router or your device’s wifi setup.

If you’re not getting internet connection to your device, then there’s something wrong with your router or your device’s wifi setup.
If your internet connection is fine and Sling is still loading or constantly buffering, you need to check your internet speed on your streaming device. For example, on Roku, you can check the speed of the stream by going to Sling’s Settings -> Connection. On iOS, you can go to Sling’s Settings -> Connection and check the “Show streaming speed during video” box. Look at your “Current bandwidth” measurement. If your streaming speed is under 1.0 Mbps, then you have an issue with your devices’ wifi connection or your router speed is not fast enough. Keep in mind that just because you’re router/modem specs are up-to-par, doesn’t mean you’re getting enough speed in the real world. You can run a speed test on your computer or mobile device by going to Google’s free internet speed test tool just to make sure your getting enough bandwith over wifi. You should upgrade your router if you have a router older than five years old.
Restart Sling
This is the simplest trick of them all. You know when you go to IT for help, they always tell you to restart it first. Well, in most cases, it works. Freezing and buffering issues are most likely caused by either Sling TV server problems or your internet and wifi connection issues. So if Sling is not down, and you are getting streams of over 1.0 Mbps, then you should have no problems with your stream. Now occasional freezing or buffering will still happen from time to time, but restarting Sling should fix temporary streaming hiccups. Close out of the Sling app and then relaunch it.

Amazon Fire TV cache issue
Some users might be experiencing freezing issues on their Fire TV devices. Start by going to Settings. Find your applications icon and open it. Click on Manage Applications to find the Sling TV app. Select “clear cache” and “clear data.” That should resolve Sling from not loading.

ESPN issues
ESPN streams have always been problematic. It’s no different on Sling TV. Streams will sometimes become choppy or not load at all. We don’t know exactly if it’s an issue with Sling or ESPN. Chances are it’s a combination of Sling and ESPN not providing enough bandwidth. This is especially evident on game days where a lot more users are logging in at the same time to stream live games. The best result comes from using the Watch ESPN app on your streaming devices by authenticating using your Sling account. Seems like ESPN will provide more bandwidth to their own channels.
