Yukon TV Activate : How do I upgrade my Yukon TV features?

Yukon TV is a state-of-the-art streaming TV app that lets you watch live and on demand from your phone, tablet, and some of your most popular streaming devices like Apple TV or Android devices.

Instead of having to rent a cable box you can just download the Yukon TV app and enjoy your subscription on your own equipment, without the equipment fees.

Your experience on Yukon TV will be a lot like what you’re already used to. You’ll continue to enjoy live and recorded TV, on-demand viewing, and a huge selection of content. Yukon TV upgrades your experience by always delivering all channels in high definition and frees you to watch your favorite movies, shows, and sports from your favorite devices.

The following is required to access Yukon TV:

  • An active Yukon TV plan (contact GCI to begin service)
  • A compatible streaming device (and its associated account login) with the Yukon TV app downloaded
  • GCI home internet service
  • Active MyGCI credentials

Existing GCI TV service will be shut off between March 1 and April 30, 2022 for customers living in Anchorage, Mat-Su, and Girdwood, and shortly after for customers in all other markets. You will have 14 days from the date your GCI TV service is disconnected to return your equipment to GCI or be charged an unreturned equipment fee.

You can upgrade to Yukon TV and get the same channel lineup you currently have, for a very comparable price. Many customers will actually save money by upgrading because Yukon TV doesn’t require cable boxes or their monthly fees. We also have some great promotional offers available to save you money and help ease the transition to Yukon TV!

How do I upgrade my Yukon TV features?

Once you have worked with a GCI representative to get connected to your Yukon TV plan, you can upgrade your plan and viewing features at MyGCI.

Does Yukon TV have DVR capabilities?

Yukon TV is a new platform, and allows for recording, pausing, and fast-forwarding like your existing box, plus some new features like Go Back, Restart, and cloud storage. (Not all features are available for all content on Yukon TV.)

Can I watch Yukon TV off-network or outside of my house?

In many cases, yes. Yukon TV lets you access network-approved recordings off-network through our mobile app. You can also access live and on-demand content via network TV Everywhere apps like WatchESPN, Watch HGTV, Bravo NOW, Fox News, and dozens more. Not all channels are available in all locations—some can only be accessed from your home.

Can I use my TV subscription to stream on apps other than Yukon TV?

Yes. When you have Yukon TV, you can use your MyGCI login info to sign directly into network apps, as long as the network is a part of your Yukon TV package. For instance, if Fox is a channel in your Yukon TV package, then you can download the FOX Now app and use it to watch content from that network. This is a great option for watching missed shows or live TV when you’re off-network.

Is Yukon TV available for internet browsers and smart TVs?

Yukon TV is not currently supported on internet browsers or smart TVs, though we hope to offer these additional options as supported devices in the future. That being said, many customers with smart TVs that use an Android operating system have reported success in downloading and using the Yukon TV app on these devices. If you find that Yukon TV works on your smart TV, great! Please be aware that since smart TVs are not yet supported devices, we are unable to assist customers with any Yukon TV-related issues while operating on them.
