How to Sign In to BBC iPlayer on a Samsung TV Using a TV Code

If you own a Samsung Smart TV and want to enjoy BBC iPlayer for free, you’ll need to sign in with a TV code. This step‑by‑step tutorial shows you exactly how to enter the code, link your device, and start streaming your favourite programmes without any extra charges.

What You Need Before You Start

• A Samsung TV that supports the BBC iPlayer app (most models from 2016 onward).
• An active internet connection – either Wi‑Fi or a wired Ethernet link.
• A BBC iPlayer account (you can create a free account using your UK TV licence number).
• A computer, tablet, or smartphone to complete the code verification.

Step‑by‑Step Guide to Enter the TV Code

1. Open the BBC iPlayer App – From your Samsung remote, press the Home button, navigate to Apps, and select BBC iPlayer. If the app is not installed, choose Search, type “BBC iPlayer”, and download it.
2. Choose “Sign In” – When the app launches, you will see a welcome screen with a Sign In button. Select it to generate a unique TV code displayed on your TV screen.
3. Grab the TV Code – The code is a six‑digit number (e.g., 123‑456). Keep the TV turned on and the code visible; you will need it for the next step.
4. Visit the Activation Page – On any internet‑enabled device, open a web browser and go to bbc.co.uk/iplayer/accounts/activate. This is the official BBC iPlayer activation page.
5. Enter the Code – On the activation page, you will be prompted to type the TV code you saw on your Samsung TV. Input the six‑digit number exactly as shown and click Continue.
6. Log In to Your BBC Account – After entering the code, you will be asked to sign in with your BBC iPlayer credentials (email and password). If you have forgotten the security PIN of your account, use the “Forgotten your password?” link to reset it.
7. Confirm the Connection – Once you have successfully logged in, the website will display a confirmation message that the TV has been linked. Return to your Samsung TV; the BBC iPlayer app will automatically refresh and show you as signed in.
8. Start Watching – Navigate through the app’s library, select a programme, and enjoy BBC iPlayer for free on your Samsung TV.
