How to Activate Netflix on Your TV Using netflix.com/tv8 (2025)

Watching Netflix on your television is one of the best ways to enjoy your favorite movies and shows. But sometimes, instead of asking for your email and password, your TV shows a message with a code and tells you to visit a special link called netflix.com/tv8.

If you’re seeing this for the first time, it might look strange. You might be wondering what the code is, why it’s needed, or where exactly to enter it. This is a common method Netflix uses to help you sign in easily on smart TVs, streaming sticks, or even game consoles without typing in your full account details.

Netflix uses netflix.com/tv8 to help link your TV with your account using a secure one-time code. This method is especially useful when you are using a remote that doesn’t have a full keyboard, or when the TV’s app doesn't allow you to type your email easily.

In this complete guide, we will explain everything you need to know. You’ll learn what netflix.com/tv8 means, how to use it, where to enter the code, what to do if the code doesn’t work, and how to stay signed in. It doesn’t matter if you are using a Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Fire TV, Roku, or even an Android TV box. These steps will work for you.

Let’s start from the beginning so you can get back to watching Netflix in no time.

What Is netflix.com/tv8 and Why Does It Show Up on Your Screen

When you install or open the Netflix app on certain smart TVs and streaming devices, you might not see the usual login form. Instead, you’ll see a message that says something like:

Go to netflix.com/tv8 and enter the code shown below.

This is completely normal. Netflix uses this method when the device doesn’t support full sign-in using a keyboard. Rather than asking you to type your email and password on a TV screen using your remote, Netflix gives you a much easier option — signing in from your phone or computer.

So instead of struggling to enter your login details with a TV remote, you just go to netflix.com/tv8 on another device. Then you enter the unique code that appears on your TV. That code connects your account to the TV, and you’re instantly signed in.

This system is commonly used by:

• Smart TVs from brands like LG, Samsung, Sony, and others
• Streaming devices like Roku, Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, or Android TV
• Game consoles like Xbox or PlayStation

If you’re seeing netflix.com/tv8, it means your device is ready to connect. You just need to complete the process by entering the code.

Now that you understand what netflix.com/tv8 is, let’s move to the next part — how to find your TV code on different devices.

How to Find the Netflix TV Code on a Smart TV

Before you can use netflix.com/tv8, you need a TV code. This code is shown directly on your TV screen, but only after you open the Netflix app. Each device may show the code in a slightly different way, but the process is usually very simple.

Follow these steps to get the code on most smart TVs:

1. Turn on your smart TV and make sure it’s connected to the internet.
2. Open the Netflix app from your TV’s home screen or app list. If you don’t see it, you may need to install it from the app store first.
3. When the app opens, select "Sign In".
4. Instead of a regular sign-in form, your screen will now show a message with a special code. This is usually 6 to 8 characters long and can contain letters and numbers. It will also tell you to visit netflix.com/tv8.

At this point, your TV is waiting for you to enter that code on another device like your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Once you do that, the code will connect your Netflix account to the TV and sign you in.

The code is unique to your device and changes every time you restart the process. If the code disappears or you wait too long, you can just reopen the Netflix app again to get a new one.

How to Find the Netflix TV Code on an LG Smart TV

If you’re using an LG Smart TV, getting the Netflix TV code is simple. LG TVs run on a system called webOS, which supports the Netflix app very well. The app comes pre-installed on most LG TVs, so you probably don’t need to download it.

Here’s how to find the code on an LG TV:

1. Turn on your LG Smart TV and make sure it’s connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or LAN).
2. On your remote, press the Home button (it looks like a house).
3. From the app list or launcher bar, open the Netflix app. If it’s your first time opening the app, it may take a few seconds to load.
4. Once the app opens, you’ll see a welcome screen. Select "Sign In".
5. Now, instead of asking for your email and password, it will show you a TV code.
6. You’ll also see the message: “Go to netflix.com/tv8 on your phone or computer and enter the code below.”

This code is what you’ll use to link your TV to your Netflix account. You should leave the TV screen as it is and move to your phone or computer to complete the setup.

If you don’t see the code, try the following:

• Make sure the app is updated from the LG Content Store.
• Restart the Netflix app.
• Restart your TV and try again.

Once the code appears, you're ready to continue. In the next section, we’ll explain how to use that code by visiting netflix.com/tv8.

How to Enter the TV Code on netflix.com/tv8

Once you’ve found the TV code on your screen, the next step is to connect your Netflix account using another device like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. This process only takes a minute and makes logging in much easier than using your TV remote.

Follow these steps:

1. Pick up your phone or computer and open your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox).
2. In the address bar, type netflix.com/tv8 and press Enter.
3. You’ll be taken to a page titled "Activate Your Device". It will ask you to enter the code displayed on your TV.
4. Carefully type the code shown on your TV screen into the box on the page.
5. Click Next or Continue.
6. If you’re already logged into your Netflix account, the device will connect immediately.
   • If not, Netflix will ask you to log in first. Enter your email and password to continue.

After entering the correct code, your TV will automatically refresh and take you straight to your Netflix home screen. You can now start watching movies and series.

What If the Code Doesn't Work?

• Double-check the code: Codes are case-sensitive, so make sure you typed every letter and number exactly as shown.
• Refresh the code: If it has been more than a few minutes, go back to the Netflix app on your TV and generate a new code.
• Check your internet connection: If the code fails repeatedly, ensure both your TV and your device are connected to the internet.

In the next section, we’ll explain how this same method works on a Samsung Smart TV, which is slightly different in terms of interface but follows the same general idea.

How to Find the Netflix TV Code on a Samsung Smart TV

Samsung Smart TVs are among the most commonly used smart TVs worldwide, and they support the Netflix app very well. Just like LG, the process to find your Netflix TV code is straightforward. Once you open the Netflix app, the code will appear on the screen for you to enter at netflix.com/tv8.

Here’s how to get the TV code on a Samsung Smart TV:

1. Turn on your Samsung TV and connect it to the internet using Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
2. Press the Home button on your remote to open the Smart Hub menu.
3. Navigate to Apps, then find and open the Netflix app.
   • If you don’t see Netflix, go to the app store and install it.
4. After opening Netflix, select Sign In.
5. Your screen will now display a TV code along with a message that says something like: “Visit netflix.com/tv8 and enter this code.”

Leave your TV on that screen. You now need to go to your phone or computer and type the code as explained in the last step.

Trouble Getting the Code?

If the app doesn’t show the code:

• Make sure you’re using the latest version of the Netflix app. Go to the Samsung App Store and check for updates.
• Try closing and reopening the app.
• Restart your TV and repeat the steps.

Once the code appears and you’ve typed it in on netflix.com/tv8, your Samsung TV will sign in to your Netflix account automatically.

Coming up next, we’ll walk you through how to find the TV code on Android TV devices.

How to Find the Netflix TV Code on an Android TV Box or Smart TV

If you’re using an Android TV box or a Smart TV that runs on the Android TV system (like Sony, TCL, Hisense, or Mi Box), the steps to find your Netflix TV code are very similar — but the menu might look slightly different depending on the brand or launcher.

Follow these steps to get your Netflix code:

1. Turn on your Android TV or Android TV Box and connect it to a stable internet connection.
2. Press the Home button on your remote control to access the main menu.
3. Use the directional buttons to scroll and find the Netflix app. If it’s not installed, go to the Google Play Store and search for "Netflix" to install it.
4. Open the Netflix app. On the welcome screen, select Sign In.
5. You should now see a screen with a TV activation code (for example, xxxx-xxxx) and a message asking you to visit netflix.com/tv8 on another device.

Leave this screen open. You now need to go to your phone or laptop browser, open netflix.com/tv8, and type the code as explained earlier.

Can’t Find the Code on Android TV?

• Make sure you are signed out first. If Netflix is already signed in with another account, go to Settings inside the Netflix app and sign out.
• Restart the app if the code doesn’t appear.
• Some Android TV systems may need you to clear the app cache in Settings > Apps > Netflix > Clear Cache.

Once activated, the app will refresh and sign you in automatically.

How to Troubleshoot netflix.com/tv8 Code Not Working

Sometimes, you might enter the code at netflix.com/tv8 and it just doesn’t work. Maybe it gives an error, or your TV doesn’t respond. Here’s what you can do if that happens.

1. Double-check the code

Make sure you typed the code exactly as it appears on your TV screen. These codes are case-sensitive and don’t allow spaces. A small mistake like swapping letters or numbers can make it fail.

2. Refresh the TV code

If the code has expired, it won’t work. Go back to your TV and exit the Netflix app. Open it again and generate a new code. Then try entering that one instead.

3. Check your internet connection

If your device isn’t connected to the internet properly, it won’t sync with Netflix servers. Make sure your Smart TV or streaming device has a working connection. You can try restarting your router or checking Wi-Fi settings.

4. Try a different browser or device

Sometimes the issue is not from your TV but from the device where you're entering the code. If you're using a phone, try a computer. Or switch browsers—use Chrome if Safari isn’t working.

5. Sign out and restart the Netflix app

Another way to refresh things is to sign out of Netflix on your TV, close the app completely, then open it again and go through the code setup process.

6. Update your Netflix app

An outdated Netflix app can also cause issues. Go to your device's app store and check for updates. If there's one available, install it and try again.

7. Restart your device

Sometimes the simplest fix works best. Restart your TV or streaming device, then reopen Netflix and try again.

How to Sign Out of Netflix on a Smart TV

If you've logged into Netflix using the TV code method, and later decide to sign out — maybe to switch accounts or fix a glitch — it’s very easy. Here’s how you can do it depending on your device.

1. Use the Netflix App Settings

Most Smart TVs have the option to sign out directly within the Netflix app. Just do this:

• Open the Netflix app on your Smart TV.
• Navigate to the left sidebar and scroll down to Get Help or Settings.
• Select Sign Out.
• Confirm that you want to sign out.

This will immediately log you out and return you to the code entry screen.

2. Use the Remote Control Key Sequence

If you don’t see the settings option, there’s a hidden method using your remote:

• On your TV remote, press this sequence:
  Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up
• A screen will appear with options like Deactivate, Sign Out, or Start Over.
• Select Sign Out.

This works on most TVs including older models.

3. Sign Out From Your Account on a Web Browser

If you’re no longer near your TV, you can still sign out remotely:

• Go to netflix.com and log into your account.
• Click your profile icon in the top right and select Account.
• Scroll down to Security & Privacy and click Sign out from all devices.
• Confirm it.

This will sign out your Netflix account on all devices, including your Smart TV.

What to Do If You Don’t See the TV Code Option on Your Device

Sometimes, you might open Netflix on your TV and expect to see a code to enter at netflix.com/tv8, but nothing shows up. Don’t worry — here are some reasons why this happens and what you can do.

1. Check If Your Device Is Compatible

Not all TVs or streaming devices support the TV code sign-in method. Older smart TVs or unofficial Android boxes might only support the regular sign-in method with email and password. To fix this, make sure your device:

• Is on the latest system software update.
• Has the official Netflix app from your device’s app store.
• Is certified by Netflix (like Samsung, LG, Hisense, TCL, Sony, etc.)

If you’re using a modified device or clone box, it may not support TV code login.

2. Restart the Netflix App

Sometimes the app fails to load the code correctly. Try this:

• Close the Netflix app completely (force stop if possible).
• Restart your Smart TV or device.
• Open Netflix again — in many cases, this will refresh the app and display the TV code.

3. Clear Netflix App Data (if possible)

Some devices like Fire TV Stick or Android TV allow you to clear app data. Here’s how:

• Go to Settings on your TV.
• Select Apps or Applications.
• Choose Netflix.
• Select Clear Data and Clear Cache.

Now restart the app and check again.

4. Use an Alternative Method to Log In

If all else fails, you can still log in by using your email and password with your remote control. It’s slower than using netflix.com/tv8, but it works on all supported devices.

How to Remove a Device Connected via netflix.com/tv8

If you used the TV code to sign in on a device but want to disconnect it later, Netflix allows you to do this easily. Whether it's an old smart TV, a hotel room screen, or a device you no longer use, you can remove it from your account in just a few steps.

1. Sign In to Your Netflix Account on a Phone or Computer

Go to netflix.com and sign in using your email and password. Make sure you’re using the main account holder’s profile (usually the one that manages billing and devices).

2. Go to the Manage Devices Page

Once you're logged in, follow these steps:

• Click on your profile icon (top-right corner).
• Select Account.
• Scroll down to the Security & Privacy section.
• Click on Manage access and devices.

This page will show a list of all devices currently signed in to your account.

3. Identify the Device to Remove

Look through the list to find the device you connected using netflix.com/tv8. Netflix usually displays:

• Device type (e.g., LG Smart TV, Fire Stick, Android TV)
• Approximate location
• Last activity date

This can help you recognize the device you want to remove.

4. Click Sign Out

Next to the device name, click Sign Out. The device will be removed and will no longer have access to your account unless the code is entered again or you log in manually.

5. Consider Changing Your Password

If you think someone else has used the TV code to access your account without permission, it’s smart to:

• Go to your Account page.
• Click Change Password.
• Choose Sign out of all devices when prompted.

That way, your account will be safe and all connected devices will be forced to re-enter the credentials or code.

How to Use netflix.com/tv8 Without a Remote

Losing your remote doesn’t mean you can’t access Netflix on your TV. If you want to activate your Netflix account using netflix.com/tv8 but don’t have a remote, there are still a few ways you can complete the process.

1. Use the Official Mobile App as a Remote

If your TV and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can turn your phone into a remote control using the Netflix mobile app:

• Download and install the Netflix app on your smartphone.
• Sign in to your account.
• Tap the cast icon (usually in the top right corner).
• Select your TV from the list of available devices.
• Your phone will now act as a remote, allowing you to navigate the TV and enter the TV code.

2. Use the TV Manufacturer’s App

Some smart TV brands have their own remote control apps. These apps allow you to control the TV using your phone or tablet. For example:

• Samsung TVs: Use the SmartThings app
• LG TVs: Use the LG ThinQ app
• Sony TVs: Use Android TV Remote Control
• Hisense or TCL (Android): Use Google TV app or Android TV Remote

These apps let you control everything you’d normally do with a remote, including opening Netflix and retrieving the TV code.

3. Use a USB Keyboard or Mouse

Many smart TVs support USB input devices. Here’s how you can try it:

• Plug a USB keyboard or mouse into the TV.
• Use the arrow keys or mouse to navigate the menus.
• Open the Netflix app and follow the steps to retrieve the code.
• On your phone or PC, go to netflix.com/tv8 and enter the code.

This method works well for TVs that don’t support app-based control.

4. Use a Universal Remote

If the original remote is permanently lost, a universal remote is another solution. These remotes are widely available and often cost less than brand-specific replacements. After pairing, you can navigate to the Netflix app and complete the TV code activation like usual.
