Why Does Sling TV Go Black Screen?

Basically Sling TV Go Black Screen means the stream is being for now break off by either a fault in your Internet service or Sling's servers. The live streaming service recommends a few things to correct it.

If the flickering to black screen or Sling tv keeps buffering problems continues to occur, Sling says try setting Connection on Medium.

Seeing a completely black screen on the TV? This most generally happens because of a temporary lapse in bandwidth available to the Sling TV application, but it can also happen while video is loading after changing to a new channel.
