Activate Your Xfinity TV Service

Once the equipment is connected, you’ll need to activate your Xfinity TV service. There are a few ways to do this:

Option 1: Activation via TV Screen

  • After powering up, your screen may display an activation page.

    • Enter a Activation Code (which you’ll find in your setup guide or on the Xfinity website).

    • Provide your Xfinity account number and other account information.

Option 2: Activate Online or Through the Xfinity App

If your TV screen does not display the activation page, you can manually activate your service by:

  1. Visiting the Xfinity Activation Page: On a web browser, go to xfinity.com/activate.

  2. Log in with your Xfinity account information.

  3. Follow the Activation Prompts: You may be asked to enter your activation code or other information.

Alternatively, you can use the Xfinity My Account app on your phone to activate your TV service. Just download the app, log in, and follow the on-screen instructions for activation.

Set Up Your Wi-Fi (for Xfinity Flex or Smart Features)

If you’re using an Xfinity Flex or Xfinity X1 Box with smart features (such as on-demand content or streaming apps), make sure to connect to your home Wi-Fi network:

  1. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your box to Wi-Fi.

  2. Enter your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.

  3. After successful connection, you’ll have access to streaming services and apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.

Troubleshooting:

  • If you encounter issues during activation, check your account status, make sure all equipment is properly connected, and restart your modem or device. You can also visit Xfinity support for more assistance.

  • If you're having trouble setting up Xfinity TV, here are a few things to check:

  • No Signal: Ensure that all cables (coaxial, HDMI, power) are securely connected.

  • Activation Issues: If activation is taking longer than expected, restart your set-top box or go to xfinity.com/activate to resolve the issue.

  • Remote Control: Make sure the remote is paired with the set-top box. If it's not, follow the pairing instructions in the setup guide.

Once activated, you’ll be able to enjoy all the services Xfinity has to offer!
