A 6‑digit code and a URL (usually
bbc.com/tvcodeoraccount.bbc.com/tv) will appear on your TV screen.On your phone, tablet, or computer, open a browser and go to that URL (e.g.,
bbc.com/account/tvcode).Log into your BBC account (or register one if needed).
Enter the 6‑digit code shown on your TV and click “Sign in on your TV”.
Wait a few seconds; your TV app will refresh and confirm you’re signed in.
⚠️ The code expires after 60 minutes, and only one person can use it at a time.
⚙️ Samsung TV: Staying Signed In
Some Samsung TVs may ask you to sign in every time due to storage settings. To fix this:
Go to TV Settings → Broadcasting → Expert Settings → HbbTV Settings and ensure Data Storage is enabled.
Also, turn off any “Do Not Track” or private browsing settings.
