@lasloja 

Thanks for the inquiry.

If you are trying to activate the HGTV GO channel, when you go to the channel and sign in, it should request you to activate the device as the channel is free with a paid cable subscription and participating TV providers. It should prompt you to go to: https://watch.hgtv.com/activate on a computer or a mobile device where you will enter the activation code and continue with the activation process.

If you are having further issues activating the HGTV GO channel, we would recommend reaching to the channel provider's support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

You can reach HGTV support here.

Thanks,
Danny

Thanks for the inquiry.

Can you please clarify the issue that you are experiencing? What message are you seeing when trying to authenticate the HGTV channel? Can you provide a screenshot?

For more information about that channel's functionality and authentication, you'll want to contact HGTV support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves.

Thanks for the inquiry.

To unlock all the content on the HGTV channel, you will need to activate the channel with your TV or cable provider subscription. If you do not have a TV or cable provider subscription you will not be able to access those episode.

For more information about the HGTV channel we recommend reaching out to the channel provider directly. You can reach them here.
