What to do of your Cable System doesn’t support single sign-in for Apple TV

Single sign in is a feature for Apple TV that lets the end user sign-in to their TV cable system using a single sign-in page. Then if they download an app for a cable channel (such as Discovery) and go into the LIVE page, the channel would already be available without that user having to sign-in to that cable channel’s web site and sign in there.

But what if your cable service is not on the list of single sign-in providers?  In that case, you’ll have to:

1. Go to the LIVE page of that Apple TV app.
2. Select “other cable system” or something like that. 
3. The page will show a login URL (such as http://www.investigationdiscoverygo.com/activate).
4. The page will show a special code.  Enter the code into the cable channel’s page.
5. After that, the cable channel will show up.

You’d have to do the above for each cable channel app.
