Hi there! I’m sorry to hear the Real America’s Voice News app on your Sony TV keeps shutting down and just shows a spinning circle for 10-15 minutes before coming back. That does sound inconvenient.

Just to make sure I’m understanding right:
- This happens when you’re watching the Real America’s Voice News app?
- The app crashes, then after a long delay it starts working again?
- Is your Sony TV an Android-based or Google TV model?

This info will help me tailor the advice best for your setup. Meanwhile, I’ll suggest some practical steps to try to resolve this issue:

1. Power cycle your TV
- Completely unplug your Sony TV from the power outlet.
- Wait about 2 minutes to allow the TV to reset fully.
- Plug it back in and power on.
This simple reset often clears temporary glitches affecting apps.

2. Clear the app cache and data (if available in your TV settings)
- Go to Settings -> Apps or Applications on your Sony TV.
- Find Real America’s Voice News app.
- Select “Clear Cache” and if possible “Clear Data.”
Clearing cache removes stored temporary data that might cause the app to hang or crash.

3. Check for app updates and TV system updates
- Go to the Google Play Store (or Sony app store) on your TV, search for the Real America’s Voice News app, and update it if there’s an update available.
- Also check your Sony TV’s system settings for any firmware/software updates. Updated software often fixes app compatibility issues.

4. Reinstall the app
- If clearing cache/data does not help, uninstall the Real America’s Voice News app fully from your TV.
- Then reinstall it fresh from the app store.

5. Network connection check
- Make sure your TV is on a stable internet connection, preferably wired Ethernet if possible. Unstable Wifi can cause app loading or crashing issues.

If you’ve already tried some of these steps, please let me know which ones so I don’t repeat, and we can go deeper from there. Also, can you share the exact Sony TV model number? That helps me find any device-specific solutions or known issues.

Looking forward to your reply so we can get your app working smoothly again!

I have done 1,2 and 3. My TV model is Bravia model XR-75X90CL.This has been doing on now for the last few months. I also have You Tube TV app with no problems.

Thanks for the additional info, and for letting me know you’ve already done power cycling, clearing cache, and system/app updates. Given your Sony Bravia XR-75X90CL and the problem persisting for months while other apps like YouTube TV work fine, this sounds like something more specific with the Real America’s Voice News app on your model.

From what I’ve seen, there are some ongoing reports of streaming issues with Real America’s Voice on certain smart TV platforms, including Sony Bravia Google TVs similar to your XR-75X90CL. Sometimes these are linked to software bugs in either the app or the TV’s operating system that updates have not fully fixed yet4 7.

Here’s what I recommend as next steps to try and work around this:

1. Force close and restart the app
- Fully quit the Real America’s Voice News app (not just leaving it idle).
- On your Sony TV, use the “Apps” menu or “Recent apps” and close it completely before reopening.
- Sometimes lingering processes cause the spinning and restoring it fully refreshed can help.

2. Try a different streaming method/device if possible
- If you have a streaming stick (like Roku, Fire TV, or Chromecast) or a connected device like Apple TV, try installing the Real America’s Voice app there to see if the problem disappears. This helps isolate if it’s app-specific to Sony.

3. Check your TV’s network connection settings
- Even if YouTube TV works, intermittent network slowdown or DNS settings might cause streaming delays for this particular app.
- Try using a static IP setup or switching to a different DNS like Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) within your TV’s network settings.

4. Contact Real America’s Voice support team
- Since this is an ongoing issue and possibly an app-side bug affecting Sony Bravia, send a detailed report to the app developer or Real America’s Voice support via [email protected]. Mention your TV model and symptoms so they are aware and could work on a fix or provide updates.

5. Check for Sony firmware updates regularly
- Occasionally, TV firmware releases improve app compatibility. Keep checking Settings -> About -> System Update to catch any new patches.

To summarize: this appears to be a known streaming hiccup with this app on some Sony Bravia models and might require a software fix from the app makers or Sony. Testing with another device and contacting support are key next steps.

Would you like me to help draft a detailed email to the support team explaining your issue? Or would you prefer I guide you through testing alternate DNS setup on your TV first? Let me know!

Are you satisfied with this troubleshooting plan so far?

Thanks for your help, some a little over my head but I think it might have something to do with the Sony tv since my Samsung in the other room has no problem. I going to try some of your suggestions. Thanks

You're very welcome! I understand some of the steps can feel a bit technical, but it sounds like you have a good sense of where the issue might lie. Since your Samsung TV works fine, it does point toward something specific with the Sony TV or the app on that device.

If you want, you can take your time trying the suggestions we discussed—like fully closing the app before reopening or checking your network settings on the Sony. Also, keep an eye out for any Sony firmware updates; they sometimes improve app behavior.
