    We're looking into intermittent errors occurring on the pbs.org/tv site when users enter their sign-in code for the PBS App on Connected TV devices including: Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Android TV, Google TV, Samsung TV, VIZIO SmartCast TV, and Comcast/Xfinity TV. Users who encounter this error are unable to sign into the app and are unable to use the "get new code" option to get a working code. Since the issue is intermittent, it may not occur for all users, devices, or codes. We'll update this page as we learn more.
