I seem to have a crap ton of problems with Sling TV and perhaps they are paying to keep complaints off of search providers main pages, but I'd like to know if anyone else is having issues like I am.
1) On my theatre PC, my sling tv app keeps acting like I bump the mouse, even though I haven't (it brings up the menu randomly and then goes away after a few seconds)
2) On my theatre PC, I cannot fast forward shows regardless of if it is a commercial or not (HGTV and Food)
3) On my theatre PC, on startup I get authorization errors a lot which makes me have to close and reopen the app to get a connection
4) On my theatre PC, Audio loses sync with the video and eventually starts to overlap and loop itself. Rewinding 10 seconds fixes the issue. It only has occurred after watching TV for at least 30 minutes, but happens every other time I've watched more than 30 minutes of TV.
5) On my iOS devices, Sling locks up my phone and I have to reboot if I watch TV for a while and try to go back to the TV listing to choose a different show
6) On all my devices, I get buffering issues which state "stalled" in the progress bar. Closing and opening the app usually fixes the problem, but sometimes I have to pick a different show to watch - almost as if that particular show I wanted to watch (or was in the middle of watching) suddenly lost connection to existence.
Has anyone else had these problems? If it were still beta, I'd expect stuff like this, but as a production release, I don't expect to see problems like this. I know it's still a brand new product, but some of these things like audio sync are things that just shouldn't exist anymore. And why do we have to have a stupid app for the service? Why can't we stream it via a web browser if we want?
And why does the app on my theatre PC not work WITH A REMOTE CONTROL???
