From “The Gadget Show” to “Neighbours,” there’s something for everyone. But before you can start streaming on your TV, you’ll need to activate your device at my5.tv/activate. Luckily, it only takes a couple of minutes.
In this blog, I’ll share how I activated My5 on my smart TV and how you can do the same—quickly and easily.
My Personal Experience Activating My5
Last weekend, I was setting up my smart TV to binge-watch some British crime dramas. I installed the My5 app and launched it, but it showed a code and told me to go to my5.tv/activate. I wasn’t sure how it worked at first, but once I followed the steps, it was super simple.
I grabbed my phone, opened my5.tv/activate, and logged into my My5 account. After entering the 5-digit code from my TV screen, I hit “Activate.” Within seconds, the TV refreshed and I was browsing shows instantly.
