Common My5 TV Activation Problems and Basic Fixes
Sometimes My5 TV activation does not work the first time. If My5.tv/activate fails or your My5 activation code keeps giving errors, start with these simple checks before contacting support.
Expired My5 Activation Code
My5 codes are time-limited. If your code no longer works, close and reopen the My5 TV app or use the “Get a new code” option if shown. Then enter the fresh code at My5.tv/activate.
Typing Errors in the Code
Double-check letters and numbers, especially similar characters (0 vs O, 1 vs I). Make sure you are on the correct activation page before submitting the My5 TV code.
Internet or Device Issues
Restart your TV or streaming device, check Wi-Fi, and ensure other apps work. Then relaunch the My5 TV app and try activation again from the beginning.
Account Sign-In Problems
If you cannot sign in to My5, reset your password from the official My5 sign-in page, then return to the My5.tv/activate process and enter the code again.
Outdated My5 App
Update the My5 app from your device app store. An older version may cause My5 TV activation errors or prevent the My5 activation code screen from appearing correctly.
