Step 1: How to Register for a Free Channel 4 Account
It is easiest to complete the initial registration on a computer or smartphone.
What You Will Need:
- A reliable VPN service with servers in the UK.
- A valid email address.
- A valid UK postcode (you can find one with a quick internet search, for example, “London postcode”).
Registration Process:
- Activate Your VPN: Start your VPN application and connect to a server located anywhere in the United Kingdom.
- Go to the Channel 4 Website: With your VPN active, open a web browser and navigate to the official Channel 4 website: channel4.com/code.
- Start the Registration: Click on the “Sign in” link, usually found in the top-right corner. On the next screen, find and click the option to “Register now” or create a new account.
- Complete the Registration Form:
- Enter your email address and create a strong password.
- Fill in your details, such as your name.
- When prompted for a postcode, you must enter a valid UK postcode.
- You may be asked to tick a box confirming you have a UK TV Licence. In the UK, a licence is required to watch live broadcast TV. This is typically a self-certification step.
- Verify Your Email: Check your email inbox for a verification message from Channel 4 and click the link inside to activate your account. Your free Channel 4 account is now registered.
Step 2: How to Watch Channel 4 on Your TV
Now that you have an account, you need to set up your TV or streaming device to use it.
The Golden Rule: The VPN and the Channel 4 app must be running on the same device. For example, you cannot run a VPN on your phone and expect the Channel 4 app on your TV to work.
