Every streaming device must be linked to a user account to download apps and start playing content. This process generates a link code on your TV screen. If you are stuck at the activation stage, this guide explains how to troubleshoot link code failures.
Sometimes, typing the code on your phone or laptop returns an error stating "Invalid Code" or "Code Expired". This is usually caused by latency in network communication between your device and the activation server. Try refreshing the link code on your TV and re-submitting.
If your television remains stuck showing "Activating..." or "Processing..." after you submit the code online, power-cycle your streaming device. Unplug the power cable, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. This forces the device to download the authentication certificate again.
When creating a new account during setup, the verification email might fail to arrive in your inbox. Check your Spam or Junk folder, or try entering a different email provider. If you still don't receive it, call our helpdesk for manual processing.
