Correspondingly, why is sling streaming so bad?

Freezing and buffering issues are most likely caused by either Sling TV server problems or your internet and wifi connection issues. 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.

Similarly one may ask, can you watch CNN on Sling?

Why does my sling keep cutting out?

Basically that means the stream is being temporarily interrupted by either a glitch in your Internet service or Sling's servers. If the flickering to black screen continues to occur, Sling says try setting Connection on Medium. If that doesn't solve the problem, try watching another channel for a minute or so.
