Re: Same old YES Network App Linking Problem

Jump to solution

Thank you for responding to my "SIX YEAR OLD PROBLEM WITH YES"!  I performed that process and it failed too!  All parties involved do not complete the authorization/verification process.  Too many parties with too many "REGULATIONS"! 

1) I am a DirecTV Customer,

2) CenturyLink is our ISP,

3) Roku Devices [3 in our house] are the Streaming Platform,

4) YES App is on Roku,

5) MLB Blackout Rules,

6) Florida Sports Region Blackout Rules

@Pviv 

you said, It seems that if you sign up for Yes through Roku, the app then asks you to sign in with your Roku account password but you get the error that it is invalid.

My response - No, I am twice paying customer through DirecTV [Entertainment Package] and I pay for the YES channel in our [Sports Pack] subscription with DirecTV

You said, So apparently it is actually looking for a Yes app password.

My response, No when I launch the YES, it inquires if I am a cable/satellite subscriber, then it launches a verification process - I select DirecTV, then YES launches a login process for my DirecTV, after I enter my credentials, I receive a CODE then I enter the CODE.  The CODE is accepted and the YES APP Opens to its home page.  I cannot get anything except another login requirement; consequently, I enter my YES Network Credentials and I get kicked out

You said, So by going to Yes app and getting a password which it never assigns you unless you choose “ forgot password “. You then choose the same password as you use for your Roku account then go back and login to the Yes app on Roku again using the password you just created on the Yes app website, it somehow pairs up and then lets you get on Yes on Roku.

My response, I never use the same password for access - that would be too risky

This is not the solution for my problem. Nobody understands the problem.  

Thank you for your help, but you accepted a solution to my problem: that is not the solution to my particular problem.  I feel like no one is understanding the root of the problem.  I get stuck in a forever launch the Yes App, receive code/verification, then prompted to login with my DirecTV credentials, then the YES seems like it launch, but fails and then I must go through the procedure again.  This has been happening for six-(6) years.
