TV app crashing the moment you open it
The app has a glitch or old data is causing it to fail. Close it completely, clear the app's stored data, and try again. This fixes it for most people in under a minute.
Apps store information from previous uses so they load faster. Sometimes that old data gets corrupted and causes the app to crash immediately. Clearing it out gives the app a fresh start. After you do this, the app will download fresh data the next time you use it.
