You will receive step by step instructions to verify your account by using any computer or mobile device. Your TV-connected device will provide you with a unique 7-character activation code that you will need in the verification process.

If the code does not refresh, exit the “ACTIVATE” screen by pressing “back” on your remote, and select “Verify Your TV Provider” under the “Settings” menu.
