Validate & Add DSID Prefix
Enter the DSID prefix you wish to add. If it's available, fill in the show details and save.
A DSID prefix should be 4–7 letters (A–Z) — no numbers or symbols. No prefix in mind? Try Suggest a DSID.
Suggest a DSID Prefix
Enter a series title and we'll propose an available prefix (4–7 characters). It's only a suggestion — accept it, pick an alternate, or set your own. If the owner channel is CBS or Showtime, a CBS prefix is folded into the code.
We skip any code already in the registry, so you're shown only what's available. Owner channels CBS and Showtime add a CBS prefix (e.g. CBS + a title acronym → CBSWGHP); any other channel leaves the code unchanged.
