Sling stopped working, was working before

Jump to solution

I just started having this problem.

I did this exact procedure (removed the app, restarted Roku, reinstalled app)

I get the error "Network Error! Please check your internet connection"

My subscription is directly through Sling.

Other Roku apps work fine.

Sling works on my phone.

Roku > Settings > Network > Check Connection says everything was successful.

I checked for Roku software updates and am up to date.

Roku Model: 3920X - Roku Premiere

software version 12.5.5 build 4174-91

Please help
