Thanks for your help. Yes- I did double check this after not doing so the first few times.

It wouldn't be the first time I mixed up 00 or oo. I forgot to mention that my new 65" LG

is not using Roku, maybe that's why I'm not having a problem with this one. Thanks again!

I know it is a year later, it's now 03/20/24, but if u still have a Sling the phone  number is 1-888-309-0838.

A real human being will answer the phone- there was a 9 minute wait.

It's now a year later and this problem with Sling is still happening, there are no more valid excuses.

Someone has to be responsible for this debacle - firing and replacement is best.

Facing difficulty with Roku not accepting Sling password. Verified password correctness and attempted re-entry multiple times, but issue persists. Restarted Roku device and checked internet connection, yet unable to resolve. Considering resetting Sling password or contacting Roku support for further assistance.
