Activating TSN Through Your TV Provider (TSN Device)
If you subscribe to TSN through a cable or satellite TV provider, you typically don’t need a separate “activation” for each device. Your TSN access is tied to your account with the provider.
- Connect your device: Connect your cable or satellite box to your TV using an HDMI cable (for HD) or coaxial cable (for older setups).
- Tune to the TSN channel: Consult your provider’s channel guide to find the TSN channel number and tune to it.
- Contact your provider if needed: In some cases, your provider might require you to activate your set-top box before you can access all channels, including TSN. They will provide instructions on how to do this, usually through their website or by calling customer service. This is not usually considered “activating TSN” specifically, but rather activating your overall cable/satellite service.
- Authorization: If you’ve recently added TSN to your cable package (TSN Device), it might take a short while for the channel to become authorized on your box. Sometimes, a simple box reboot (unplug it for a minute and plug it back in) can resolve this.
