Troubleshooting: Common FYI Activation Questions
Having issues getting FYI going? Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
Why does it say “Geographic Restriction”?
Unfortunately, FYI is only available within the United States currently. So it will be geo-restricted elsewhere.
Can I watch FYI live TV?
The FYI app doesn’t support live streams. But you can view the live feed at play.fyi.tv/live.
Where do I get my TV provider login?
Your cable TV, satellite TV, or live TV streaming subscription details are needed to activate FYI. Contact your provider if unsure.

Nope. The ads subsidize FYI content being free, so disabling them isn’t possible.
