How to Register and Activate For A My5 TV Account via my5.tv
Registration of My5 TV on your Device
To register and activate a My5 TV account, follow these steps:
1. Visit the My5 Website or App:
Go to https://www.channel5.com/ on a web browser, or download the My5 app from your device’s app store (available on iOS, Android, or supported smart TVs and streaming devices).
Alternatively, you can use the activation site https://activate.channel5.com/.
2. Start the Registration Process:
On the website or app, locate the “Sign In” option (usually in the top right corner or main menu).
Click or tap “Register” (this might appear as a tab or button like “Register Now” or “Create an Account”).
3. Enter Your Details:
Provide your name, postcode (use capital letters with a space, e.g., AB1 2CD), date of birth, and a valid email address.
Create a strong password (at least 16 characters is recommended for security).
For the date of birth, if there’s a calendar icon, click it to select the year, month, and day.
4. Accept Terms:
Check the box to confirm you’ve read and agree to the Terms & Conditions.
Submit the form by clicking “Create Account” or a similar button.
5. Verify Your Email (if required):
Check your inbox (and junk/spam folder) for a verification email from My5. Click the link to confirm your account, if prompted.
Once registered, you’ll have a free My5 account ready to use.
Activation on a TV or Streaming Device
On your smart TV, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, gaming console (e.g., PS4, Xbox), or other supported device, download the My5 app from the device’s app store.
Launch the My5 app on your device. You’ll be prompted to sign in or activate the device.
Select “Sign In” or “Activate” within the app. A 6-digit activation code will appear on your TV screen.
On a separate device (like a phone or computer), go to https://activate.channel5.com/ or my5.tv/activate in a web browser.
Log in with your registered email and password.
Enter the 6-digit code shown on your TV screen and submit it.
Once the code is accepted, your device will link to your My5 account. The app on your TV should refresh, granting you access to My5 content.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter any issues during the activation process, here are a few tips to help you out:
Code Not Working? Ensure you enter it quickly, as codes can expire. Generate a new one if needed.
Sign-In Issues? Reset your password via the “Forgot Password” link on the sign-in page and check your email for a reset link.
App Problems? Restart your device, ensure a stable internet connection, or reinstall the app.
My5 is free to use with no subscription fees, and it’s available only in the UK due to licensing restrictions. After activation, you can enjoy Channel 5’s on-demand shows, movies, and more!
