Activate Discovery Go on Roku, Fire Stick, DirecTV Now, Apple TV


Discovery GO is a channel that offers lots of entertainment for free. You can watch most of its programmes on different devices and even stream them online. Although the app is free, you need a TV subscription through a satellite or cable provider to watch most of the episodes.


The channel adds more episodes and shows to their app from time to time. It then keeps a small portion of them unlocked for users who do not sign in with a TV provider. But even before you can watch episodes without signing in, you first need to activate Discovery GO.


If you want to activate Discovery.com/activate Go on Roku, Fire Stick, DirecTV Now, or Apple TV, the first step is to download the app on your device.


The app is compatible with most devices, including mobile phones manufactured in the last five years. All Smart TV nowadays come with a selection of pre-loaded apps and allow you to add more.


Go to their specific channel or app stores, search for Discovery GO, and add the channel. Adding will install the channel on your TV.
