How Do I Register for a My5 Account and Activate My5.tv?

To register for a My5 account and activate My5.tv, follow these steps based on the most reliable information available:

Registering for a My5 Account

1. Choose Your Platform:

   • You can register via the My5 mobile app, the website (channel5.com/activate), or the activation site (my5.tv/activate).

   • On the mobile app or website, locate the "Sign In" option, then select the "Register" tab.

2. Provide Required Information:

   • Enter your name, postcode (use capital letters with a space, e.g., AB1 2CD), date of birth, and email address.

   • Create a password and confirm you accept the terms and conditions.

   • For date of birth, if you see a calendar icon, click it to select the year, month, and day.

3. Submit Registration:

   • After filling in the details, submit the form to create your account. My5 is free, with no subscription fees.

Activating My5.tv on a Device

1. • Download the My5 app on your device (e.g., Smart TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox, or PlayStation) from the respective app store.

   • Open the My5 app on your device. You’ll be prompted to sign in or activate the app. An activation code may appear on your screen.

   • On a separate device (e.g., phone or computer), go to https://activate.channel5.com/ (not my5.tv/activate, as some unofficial sources suggest).

   • Sign in with your My5 account credentials or register if you haven’t already.

   • Input the code displayed on your TV or device screen into the activation site. Follow any additional prompts to complete the pairing process.

Troubleshooting Tips:

1. • If the code doesn’t work, ensure you’re in the UK, as My5 is only available there.

   • If you encounter issues signing in, try resetting your password via the "Forgot Password" link on the activation site. Check your junk/spam folder for the reset email.

   • Restart your device if the app doesn’t connect after activation.

Important Notes

• Avoid Unofficial Sites: Some sources mention my5.tv/activate, but the official activation URL is https://activate.channel5.com/. Be cautious of third-party sites or QR code apps that may misdirect you or charge fees.

• Device Compatibility: My5 supports devices like Android/iOS mobiles, Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, etc.), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and gaming consoles (PS4, Xbox). Check the full list on the Channel 5 help centre.

• Free Service: My5 is completely free, offering access to Channel 5 content, including 5STAR, 5USA, and more, without any cost.
