    Mr.Bellur,
    Hopefully you can answer a question for me or at least I can raise some awareness-while trying to watch three different programs on Crackle through my AppleTv device I was asked to enter a code (no other programs ask for this – and these three where religious based)
    (Is there a reason this kind of programing is being “handled differently”)
    Have you any idea to whom I would address this issue as there is no one at Crackle to actually speak to
    Thank you
    Tameatha

      Please let me know what the programs are, and I’ll check it out.

      Was there any text on the screen prompting you to enter a code? If so, please let me know, so I can research it further.

      Thanks for the heads up!

        Thank you so much for replying and for any help you may be able to give
        The programs were
        -Israel, A Journey Through Time
        -Thr Naked Architect
        -Secrets of Christianity
        The prompt says – activate Crackle on Apple TV
        Start watching movies and shows.No hassle,no cost.
        1)go to Crackle.com /activate on your computer
        2)enter code below
        BAANT
        —I already have Crackle on my Apple TV device (and those are the only programs that I am unable to just start watching
        No other programs that I have tried to watch have ever asked me to do that
        Thank you again

          Oh, I see what’s going on. They want you to activate your device. It’s odd that those programs require activation. I’ll check it out and let you know what I find.

        I replied to your message – I hope that was not deleted
        I am not seeing my reply – so I will send it again – in short – the programs that request my signing in with code BAAT (on my computer ) are
        -Israel, A Journey through Time
        -the Naked Architect
        -Secrets of Christianity
        (The message that appears is go to Crackle.com on my computer and enter coda BAAT-
        I am using Crackle for everything else and nothing else requires any type of code
        Thank you for any help!
        Tameatha
