        See if you can download SYFY Channel as a separate app where you can login with your cable subscription. To do that, go to streaming channels and look for it in one of the categories to the left.  or go to searech for ch annels and see if there's a channel for that.

Re: SYFY channel

SyFy isn't listed as one of the channels in Peacock. How are you trying to watch SyFy? As a separate app? Within Peacock?

Re: SYFY channel

Thanks DBDukes, I should add that I use Xfinity Internet (only), subscribed to Netflix and Amazon Prime. The SYFY channel logo is visible in my Roku channel list but when I try to input the code from SYFY the error states the code is invalid, I have tried many times.

Re: SYFY channel

If you don’t have a service (cable, satellite, or streaming) that includes SyFy as part of the package, you can’t authenticate the app.

Re: SYFY channel

I just now realized, from your post that I did not have SYFY loaded on my ROKU.  All you do is add SYFY and it loads the channel up and you are good to go!!

SYFY network has its own app , or download the stand alone NBC app. You don't necessarily need to access SYFY network through Peacock.
