SpectrumU cable streaming television service is provided for all students.  It includes nearly 150 live channels and on-demand content from several popular networks.

What is SpectrumU?

SpectrumU provides all the channels and convenience of cable, minus the cable. The campus community can stream Spectrum cable on mobile devices, laptops, Apple TVs, Amazon Fire Devices, and Roku devices. Visit the app store on your device and search for "SpectrumU". Note that the "Spectrum" app is for home residential TV access and not the app that provides access to the services provided by the University.  

While on the campus network, watch the full lineup anywhere you receive a WiFi connection with convenient options:

  • Stream thousands of shows and movies live or on-demand.
  • Start select shows and movies from the beginning, even if they’ve already begun.

What's on SpectrumU?

While on campus, stream over 150 channels, including cable networks like ESPN, AMC, TWC, FX, and Bravo; college sports; news; and local networks. When off-campus, a limited but significant array of channels remain available for streaming.
