Unable to access streaming PBS - Only screen on app is "Activate Now"

I have tried power reset.  I also viewed a post talking about "clicking left within PBS app".  Within PBS app, all arrow functions result in no new menu.  The only option is to "Activate Now".  I do not have Passport and only want to view streaming.

Even if you don't have Passport you still need to activate. As I recall, basically you just need to give them your email address and tell them what your local PBS station is. It's been a while since I activated the app but I think that's it. (I don't have Passport either.)

I have wrestled with PBS tech services for months now, and apparently you can't stream PBS on a smart TV. I just forked over $%120 for two years of Passport ad it is useless.
