Common questions

I can't find the Purple Cow TV app on my TV. What do I do?
If you have a Samsung, LG, or Roku TV, our app isn't available in those app stores yet. The easy solution is to use an Amazon Fire Stick ($30-50) – just plug it into your TV and download our app there! For all other smart TVs, search 'Purple Cow TV' in your app store and download directly.
Can I download the Purple Cow TV app on a Roku?
No, we currently do not support Roku. Our team is very familiar with Firesticks, and we recommend using them. The cost of a Firestick is only $39, and you can purchase one from this link:

Buy Amazon Firestick.
Do you guys send me a TV box or can I just use my own?
Both work. With Purple Cow TV, you have options. Many herd members use their own streaming devices including Apple TV, Android, Google TV, Firestick, or even a Chrome browser. We also offer TV boxes and include one with each package, which you can add free of charge during checkout or later through the customer portal.
