    Question Boxee Activation Code for Netflix

    I'm trying to activate my Boxee on the Netflix web site and of course it requires a code to add Boxee to my list of devices.

    Anyone know where the heck I find that?

    Thanks in advance......

    Log online at the Netflix website and you will find the code... if not just go to add a device on the website and then add your boxee.. it will then generate another code.

    On the Boxee Box, I believe it will be displayed when you start the Netflix app the first time.

    AFAIK there is no code to activate NetFlix on BoxeeBox! You just need to launch netflix app and follow screen prompts.

    Well, even after a full restore and reset the netflix app won't run on my box. It simply goes to grey screen and back to the apps menu when I try and run it....no chance to do anything....sigh....

    It worked well for months and then just stopped.....

    As good as these suggestions have been to my issue of activating my Boxee on Netflix web site, nothing has worked.
    I've tried each suggestion and on the Boxee itself I get no code when first starting Netflix (and I have tried clearing the Netflix data), and on Netflix website it will not allow me to activate the device without a code.

    Should I be going to the netflix website through the Boxee browser perhaps?

    What happens (exactly) when you launch the Netflix app?

    (I think jas's post above is correct, you should be prompted with for your netflix username/email and password and that's all you should need).

    1) I launch the app
    2) enter email and password (if I already haven't done that or cleared data)
    3) start watching stuff

    But on netflix.com I'd like to add Boxee to my device list but need a Boxee activation code. That code is what I can't find. Looked through all Boxee settings but no luck.

    Unfortunately that code isn't available on BoxeeBox yet You may ask NetFlix about it !!
