You’ve installed the Discovery Plus app on your smart TV or streaming device, ready to explore a universe of documentaries, reality shows, and original content. But when you open it, you’re not met with a list of shows. Instead, you see a 6-digit code and a URL. What’s next?
This sign-in method is the industry standard for TV apps, saving you the frustration of typing a long email and password with a clunky remote. By using this discoveryplus.com/link process, you can securely connect your TV to your account in moments. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you watching.
The TV Sign-In Code Process Explained
This method uses a second device, like a smartphone, tablet, or computer, to authorize your TV. It’s a simple and secure way to link your Discovery Plus subscription to the big screen. The process is virtually identical across all major platforms, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TVs, and Android/Google TV.
Step-by-Step: Linking Your TV with a Code
- Install and Launch the Discovery Plus App If you haven’t already, go to your TV’s app store, search for “Discovery Plus,” and install it. Open the app. You will be greeted with a welcome screen and an option to “Sign In.”
- Get Your Unique 6-Digit Code After selecting “Sign In,” the app will display a unique 6-digit alphanumeric code on your TV screen. This code is time-sensitive, so leave this screen open on your TV while you complete the next steps.
- Go to the Activation Website on a Second Device Now, grab your phone or computer and open a web browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox). In the address bar, type in the official activation link: discoveryplus.com/link or discoveryplus.com/activate. Be sure to type this directly into the address bar to avoid unofficial websites.

- Enter the Code from Your TV The webpage will have a prominent input box asking for your code. Carefully type the 6-digit code that is displayed on your TV screen into this box and click “Activate” or “Link.”
- Sign In to Your Discovery Plus Account If you aren’t already logged in on that browser, you will be prompted to sign in to your Discovery Plus account. Enter the email address and password associated with your subscription. If you don’t have an account, you will need to create one and subscribe to a plan.
- Confirmation and Automatic Refresh Once you’ve entered the code and signed in, the website will show a success message. At the same time, the Discovery Plus app on your TV should automatically refresh. The code will disappear, and you’ll be logged in, ready to browse and stream your favorite shows.

Troubleshooting Common Activation Issues
If you run into a problem, here are some quick solutions:
- “Invalid Code” Error: This is the most common issue. Double-check the code on your TV and make sure you have typed it correctly on the website. Pay close attention to characters that might look similar (e.g., the letter ‘O’ and the number ‘0’).
- The Code Expired: The activation codes are only valid for a few minutes. If you took too long, the TV app might show an error or a button to “Generate a new code.” If not, simply close and restart the Discovery Plus app on your TV to get a fresh code.
- TV Screen Doesn’t Update: If you get a success message on your browser but your TV screen is still showing the code, wait for about 30 seconds. If it’s still stuck, close the app on your TV and reopen it. You should now be logged in.
- Check Your Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is required on both the TV and the second device for the linking process to work seamlessly.
