Sling TV streaming issues

I am having significant issues consistently streaming content on Sling TV for Apple TV 4. Sling Support is of no help, saying it's a broadband issue, but my broadband is more than enough (150/25 fiber to the home). I have no issues watching 1080p movies from iTunes, Netflix and PBS Kids app. I never have issues with those services, but Sling consistently messes up. It refuses to stream a channel, VOD doesn't always work, it buffers and pixelates. Restarting the service seems to temporarily fix it.

Is anyone else using Sling on Apple TV having these same issues and have you found a resolution?

Did you ever get this fix? Sling is telling me it might my Apple TV. It was working; now I cannot login at all.

I have exactly the same issue, and it is the apple tv softwere issue because I have a Roku on my other tv and it works perfect all the time.

Try Play Station Vue (PS Vue) service before going back to cable. I initially used Sling but there was always some technical glitch-of-the day. We switched to PS Vue, enjoying it.

Do you have a fix? I have the same issue and it makes me not want Sling TV.
