Some things to be aware of

  • If you don't use the activation code, it will expire after 60 minutes so you'll need to start again.Μύ
  • Only one person can use the activation code. If two or more people try to use the same code, it won't work.Μύ
  • If you see a message saying, "Sorry, something isn't working right now. Please try again later," that means we're having technical issues. Please do try again later.Μύ
  • If your computer/phone/tablet advises that you're signed in, but your TV doesn't change, or it asks you to sign in again,Μύplease run through our TV troubleshooting steps as these may help.
  • Sign-in isn't available on all TVs. That's because we're just rolling out Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds on connected TVs. Check the Can I use Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds on my TV? page for more information about Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds on connected TVs.Μύ
  • If you want to sign in on more than one TV, follow the same procedure with those devices. You'll be given a code linked to that particular device. You can sign in to as many TV devices as you need.
  • If you'd like to sign an additional account in on your TV, follow the same process. Each new user will need their own Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ account.

What if I don't have a mobile, tablet or computer?Μύ

It isn't possible to sign in to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds on connected TVs without first signing in to a second device.
