    2. When you first open the Kanopy app, you will be able to browse content, but not play the films. In order to play, you will need to link your Kanopy account. To do this:
      1. Select any film and press play. This will trigger the linking process and display further instructions on screen (outlined in the following steps).
      2. Go to kanopy.com/link using a computer or mobile device. If you are not signed into your account, you will be prompted to do so before you can enter the code.
      3. Enter the code displayed on the left side of your TV screen.
      4. If the linking is successful, the message will change on your Telstra TV to let you know that you can press the OK button to start viewing films. Once this is complete, you will be able to start viewing films on your Telstra TV. If you need to generate a new code, click the back arrow button on the Telstra TV remote and select the film again.

    1. After you create your Kanopy account, attach the HDMI cable to your TV: You will find HDMI ports on all newer Televisions (typically on the side or back panels). Plug the HDMI cable into one of the ports (e.g. HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc).
    2. Attach the HDMI cable to your computer: attached the other end of the HDMI cable to your computer / device.
    3. Set your TV settings to the HDMI port: Change the "input source" setting on your TV to the HDMI port you are using with the cord.
