Activation Codes

How do I authenticate and log in to WatchESPN on my mobile or tablet device if my TV provider is a participating provider?

Go to www.espnnetworks.com/setup and follow the instructions to complete your online registration with your video service provider. This process also includes synching your video service provider online registration with your ESPN.com registration. Upon completion, you will be directed back to your mobile device or tablet. Once you have returned to the WatchESPN application, enter your ESPN.com registration credentials.

isn't it justyour cox user name and password?

For the website yes, but the Fire TV uses a app instead of a browser so you need to get the activation code from ESPN. I have never tried it before, but that does seem to be what the instructions say. If you find something different, please correct me. :-)

I have basic cable (no box) and recently purchased a Roku. I want to watch the Lifetime Channel and it won't let me without entering my activation code. I entered my code, but Cox is not on the list of providers. Why is that? Every other cable company is on the list. I have to say, I had full cable but have slowly starting dropping it. Now it makes me want to drop the whole thing. I wish I had more options in my area, because I would drop Cox instantly!
