Before You Start
- Check whether you want to use the Purple Cow set-top box or your own streaming device.
- If you plan to use a smart TV directly, confirm whether that TV's app store supports Purple Cow TV first.
Steps
Start with the supported platform families: Amazon, Android or Google TV, Apple devices, browser viewing, or the Purple Cow set-top box.
If you have a Roku, Samsung TV app store, or LG TV app store, plan on using a supported external device instead.
Check that your device software is reasonably up to date before you install the app.
If you want the simplest standardized setup, ask about the Purple Cow TV set-top box option. The first box is free, and additional boxes are $5 per month each.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Purple Cow TV with a Roku TV?
You can still use Purple Cow TV on a Roku TV by plugging in a supported external device. The Purple Cow TV app is not currently available in the Roku app store.
Can I use a Samsung or LG TV without another device?
Not usually. Purple Cow TV is not in those native TV app stores, so most customers use a supported external device instead.
What is included with the Purple Cow TV box?
The Purple Cow TV box is a dedicated Android TV 4K set-top box with a remote, HDMI cable, power adapter, and quick-start guide.
