Sling only app that will not connect

Frustrated that I can't  watch sling - connectivity issue.  Roku says connected to public but apps are  connected to my home.  Nobody  knows how to fix.  Usual reboots,etc. done. About ready to cancel unreliable  accounts!! Sling is the only app with this problem!

    We understand you're trying to resolve this Sling channel issue, and we appreciate the attempts.

    1. Remove the channel: navigate to your Home screen, move to the right, highlight the app, press Star*, then select Remove channel
    2. Clear cache and data: From the Roku home screen, navigate to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Network connection reset. Choose "Reset connection" and set up the connection once again.
    3. Perform a system reboot: navigate to your Home, select Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > System restart
