Re: IR Remote - automatically goes to Sling and stays stuck on that screen

Mine is doing the same thing. It looks like Sling took over my Roku. How do I get rid of it?

Do you have a Sling button?  Is it stuck?  Try pulling up on it.

Remote Stuck on Sling app

Jump to solution

I turned on my TV using Roku Express, then I used my Roku remote. The screen automatically goes to Sling App and stays stuck there. I cannot go back to the home screen. It just stays on the Sling App. I reset the Roku, took batteries out of my remote, and tried it again and once the batteries go in, same result. Also, I tried  not clicking anything on the remote once the Roku is turned back on, and about 10 seconds of it being on it automatically goes to the Sling App. Can someone help with this? 
Thank you!

Thanks for the post.

Please send me a PM with your Roku account email address, and include the serial number/device ID on the Roku device along with a summary of the issue you are experiencing. I'll be able to assist you further from there.

 

Thanks,

I am having the same exact issue. I thought my Roku had gone bad. I purchased a new Roku Express and now it is doing the same thing. I turn on the Roku , even if I leave it on the home page and do not touch the remote m, after 10 seconds or so Sling TV comes up. I try exiting and Sling just comes back up.

Is the old roku remote anywhere in the room with batteries in it? Get it out, take out the batteries for good.

I use the app to for my remote. Sling interrupts other apps especially Netflix. I removed the channel but the sling "add channel" option interrupts everything now.

Thanks for the post.

Does your remote have a Sling or Vudu button? Are those buttons lodged or stuck?

With more information we will be able to assist you further.
