I have Apple Tv and have a friend that said I can use their username and password to activate the Watch ESPN app.

I go to Watch ESPN app on the Apple Tv and get the activation code. I then go to the activation website to enter said code. When I enter it in the Watch ESPN app says that the app has been activated. However when I go to watch something it says the channel is not on the tv package.

My friend has AT&T Uverse cable and internet and they also get ESPN, ESPN2, etc. I have Uverse internet. It never asks me for a username or password.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Strange issue. I borrowed a friend's login and I'm on a different carrier that doesn't even offer watch espn. It worked fine for me. Can't remember for sure but I think I followed the same steps you did. It didn't ask you for the username and password before giving you the activation code?

I was actually able to register on watchESPN with my Uverse internet username and password. I know its only supposed to be for television subscribers, but I guess ATT doesn't have two separate systems or something.

I'm sure it will be swiftly corrected now that I've posted.
