Using Alexa to Search BET+

If your Fire TV remote has an Alexa button, you can use voice commands:
  • “Alexa, open BET Plus” — launches the BET+ app
  • “Alexa, search for BET Plus” — finds the app in the store
  • “Alexa, play [show name] on BET Plus” — goes directly to a show

Troubleshooting Fire TV Activation

Make sure your Fire TV device is set to the US region. Go to Settings → My Account → Amazon Account and verify your region. Some content is region-restricted.
This is common. Simply go back to the BET+ app sign-in screen to generate a fresh code. Have the activation page already open at bet.plus/activate before you request a new code.
Restart your Fire TV Stick by holding the Select and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. You can also go to Settings → My Fire TV → Restart.
Check your internet speed (BET+ recommends 5 Mbps for HD). Move your router closer to the Fire TV Stick or use a Wi-Fi extender. You can also try clearing the BET+ app cache: Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Applications → BET+ → Clear Cache.
Using a Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max? BET+ supports 4K Ultra HD streaming on compatible Fire TV devices. Make sure your TV and internet connection also support 4K for the best picture quality.
