PBS won't activate -- anyone else having this problem?

I've tried several times to activate PBS at pbs.org/activate. At first I couldn't even get an activation code -- it kept timing out before.


Then the first time I was able to get the code and log into pbs.org/activate it gave me several options to sign in with -- facebook, g+, etc., and I chose facebook.


I entered the code I was given on my Apple TV but I got back an invalid code error. So I tried it again but each time I attempt it, I enter the new code number at the pbs.org/activate prompt but on the next page it doesn't give me any options with which I can log in to pbs. It says it will, but doesn't actually provide the options of facebook, g+, etc.,


Anyone else getting their PBS activated?

Apple TV, PBS station

I received the activation code, but after inputting it into the www.pbs.org/activate page, I get the message about logging in, but with no options, just a blank space.

Have had problem on both iPad and iPhone. Both using Safari. After entering activation code displayed on apple tv on iDevice get page that says:


"Complete activation to start enjoying your favorite PBS programs. Watch now in high definition or save your favorites for later.


Create a new PBS account or sign in with one of the following"


This is second day of trying. I can view the clips on the inactivated Apple TV.
