Step 1 Connect the device to your TV To connect the device to your TV, you need to follow these steps;
The first process that has to be completed is the connection of the Contour Stream player hardware. The device plugs into the back of your television and also your internet modem.
First of all, ensure that the TV that you are going to install the Auto off & on software is turned off. Then plug one end of the included HDMI cable to the ‘HDMI Out’ input at the rear of the Stream Player. Screw this end into an available HDMI input port on your TV using the screw at the base of the cable.
Then, ensure that the power source is connected to the device through the AC Adapter by connecting the Adapter to a power outlet. There is a small indicator light that will be on the front of the unit to inform you that it is getting power.
Last of all, kindly plug in the Ethernet cable (not included) to the designated ‘Ethernet’ port situated at the rear part of the device and insert it into any available LAN port on your internet modem or router. This serves to connect the device to the internet to download the content to be viewed.
Step 2: Download the Contour App software on your device or simply use the web app through a web browser.
Finally, with the device hardware successfully set up, the next step is to get the Contour app installed on your streaming device, including Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, or a smart television.

Step 3: Click on the Cox ‘Create an Account’ button to register for a new account or enter the ‘Sign in’ tab if you already have an account with the company.
However, to stream content, you will need to have an active Cox account, and will need to subscribe to one of their packages to have access to the content that they offer. If you do not have one then do not worry, you can create it right through the Contour app.
If you already are a customer of Cox, then you should log in with your username and password. Contour service will be activated and set to go with no need for your intervention to start streaming.
