That will not work to get your TV protected. For this issue of devices you cannot install the PIA app on, we recommend using the VPN on a router. Connecting to PIA on your router can be a great tool to use to protect multiple devices at one time, or to protect any device that we currently do not support.
Almost any router with VPN capability could work with our service. However, we only offer ready VPN setup guides for routers using specific router firmware. Here is a list of routers compatible with each of the currently supported firmware types:
However, if you can not locate your router within the above lists, it would appear that we do not support your router or your router does not directly support VPN services.
In all likelihood, you will need to install ("flash") such custom router firmware onto your router. Please be aware that router flashing falls outside our support scope, and doing so would be at your discretion and liability.
It may be possible to configure VPN use on stock or other firmware, provided it has VPN configuration options, but we would not have a ready guide for its use.
