Hi @larrydeman! Welcome to community!

I've created a new post for you, since it sounds like you're trying to activate Pandora on your DirecTV.

For other listener that may be activating an in-home device, such as a TV or receiver, you can use the following steps to activate your device: 

• Launch the Pandora application.
• Select New User.
• An activation page will appear with a code - leave this code up on the device screen as you continue.

From the web, visit www.pandora.com/[brand of device] and enter the activation code there. For example, for activating DirecTV, you'll enter www.pandora.com/directv or if you'd like to activate your Samsung, www.pandora.com/samsung. 

Or, if you prefer to use a mobile device, open the Pandora app and go to Settings, then tap Device Activation and enter the code.

Finally, select Continue on the in-home device.

@JStaf Please use the following steps to activate your in-home device:

• Launch the Pandora application.
• Select New User.
• An activation page will appear with a code - leave this code up on the device screen as you continue.

From the web, visit www.pandora.com/lg and enter the activation code there 

Or, from a mobile device, open the Pandora app and go to Settings, then tap Device Activation and enter the code.

Finally, select Continue on the in-home device.

Hope that helps. Let me know how it goes.

I am able to get an activation code on my new 85" sony tv in the pandora app, but there is no place to enter the activation code on this pandora website page  - there is definitely no "device management" field to enter.

When I googled pandora activation code and got a pandora website and entered my code there - nothing happened! **ahem**?  how can it be this hard?
