You can enjoy all your favorite SiriusXM channels directly on your smart TV. Using the app allows you to play audio through your home sound system for an enhanced listening experience. This guide outlines the steps to locate, install, and activate the SiriusXM app on your device. To get started, ensure your smart TV is connected to the internet and that you have a SiriusXM streaming subscription.
Locate and Download the SiriusXM App
First, access the official app store on your smart TV, typically available from the main menu or home screen. Each brand has a different name for its app store.
- Samsung TVs: Go to the “Samsung Apps” hub.
- LG TVs: Open the “LG Content Store.”
- Google TV or Android TV (Sony, TCL): Use the “Google Play Store.”
- Roku TV: Search the “Roku Channel Store.”
- Amazon Fire TV: Access the “Amazon Appstore.”
Within the app store, use the search feature, usually indicated by a magnifying glass icon. Select the search bar and type “SiriusXM.” The appropriate app will appear in the results. Click on the app icon and choose the option to “Install” or “Get.” Your TV will download the application, which typically takes less than a minute.
Activate the App with Your Code
After installation, return to your TV’s home screen to find the new SiriusXM icon. Open the app to start the activation process. A welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen displaying a unique activation code. This temporary code links the TV to your account, so please keep this screen open.
For the next step, you’ll need another internet-connected device, like a smartphone or computer. Open a web browser such as Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. Visit the official SiriusXM activation website by typing siriusxm.com/activate into the address bar. The site is straightforward and designed for this purpose, featuring a text box for your code.
Link Your Account and Start Listening
On the activation website, carefully enter the code displayed on your TV screen. Double-check the letters and numbers for accuracy before proceeding. After submitting the code, the site will prompt you to sign in to your SiriusXM account. Enter your registered email address and password to confirm your subscription status and authorize the TV as a new listening device.
Return to your TV. Once you sign in on your other device, the SiriusXM app on the TV will refresh automatically. The activation code screen will be replaced by the full SiriusXM interface, allowing you to explore channels, browse on-demand content, and play any audio you choose.
