Is Your Sling App Stuck in the Upside Down? Here's How to Reboot It on Your LG TV

Here's how to get your Sling app back on track with a simple restart on your LG TV, all without needing a degree in advanced televisionery.

| How To Restart Sling App On Lg Tv |
The Close and Relaunch: A Classic for a Reason
This first method is the technological equivalent of counting to ten to calm yourself down. It's simple, effective, and might just be the nudge your app needs.
- Hit the Home Button: Grab your magic remote (because who wouldn't want a magic remote?) and press the home button to return to the land of LG launcher.
- Seek and X the Sling: Navigate to the Sling TV app. You might see a little "X" in the corner – that's your exit button. Give it a good ol' click with your remote and sayonara to the frozen app.
- Relaunch with Gusto: Now that Sling TV is safely out to pasture, press that home button again. Find the Sling TV app once more and relaunch it with enthusiasm. Hopefully, your app will be back in fighting form, ready to stream all your favorite channels.
Still Stuck? Don't Panic!
If the close and relaunch didn't work, fear not! We have a couple more tricks up our sleeve.
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
The Power Down Shuffle: Sometimes You Gotta Take it All Off
This method is like giving your TV a little refresh.
- Power Down Completely: Unlike when you just hit the power button on the remote, we're going all in here. Unplug your LG TV from the wall outlet. Yes, go cold turkey.
- The Magic of Sixty Seconds: Wait for a full minute (sixty whole seconds, people!) This gives your TV time to clear its metaphorical cache.
- Power Up and Away: Plug your TV back in and boot it up. Now, relaunch Sling TV and see if it's back to its streaming best.
