How to Fix Activation Code Errors on TV Devices

Edited

If you’re trying to log in to TBN+ on your TV and your activation code isn’t working, the issue is usually related to timing, connectivity, or entering the code incorrectly. Follow the steps below to resolve the problem.

Common Reasons Activation Codes Don’t Work

Activation codes are designed to be quick and secure, but they can fail for a few common reasons:

  • The code has expired

  • The code was entered incorrectly

  • Your TV or device has a connection issue

  • The activation page was not completed properly

Step 1: Generate a New Activation Code

Activation codes are time-sensitive and may expire within a few minutes.

  1. Go back to the TBN+ app on your TV

  2. Select Login again

  3. Wait for a new activation code to appear

Then try the activation process again using the new code.

Step 2: Enter the Code Correctly

When entering your code:

  • Double-check for typos or incorrect characters

  • Enter the code exactly as shown (including capitalization if applicable)

  • Avoid using extra spaces

Go to: https://secure.tbn.org/activate to enter your code.

Step 3: Complete the Login Process

After entering your activation code:

  • Click Next

  • Enter your email address

  • Enter your password

  • Select Verify

Make sure you complete all steps. If you stop midway, your TV won’t sign in.

Step 4: Check Your Internet Connection

Both your TV and the device you’re using to activate must be connected to the internet.Restart your router if needed. 

Step 5: Restart Your Device

If the code still isn’t working:

  • Restart your TV or streaming device

  • Close and reopen the TBN+ app

  • Generate a new activation code and try again

Step 6: Try a Different Device or Browser

If you’re having trouble entering the code, use a different phone, tablet, or computer or try a different web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox).
