To stream your favorite shows from Channel 5, 5STAR, and 5USA on your smart TV, you’ll need to use the My5 app. The key to unlocking this content on your big screen is the activation website: activate.channel5.com. This secure portal links your TV to your My5 account using a simple code. This guide will walk you through each step of the process.
What You Need to Get Started
Before you begin, make sure you have a few things ready. First, you need a compatible smart TV or streaming device (like a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick) with the My5 app installed. Second, you’ll need a separate device with a web browser, such as a smartphone or computer. Finally, you must have a My5 account. If you don’t have one, you can register for free on the activation website.
