Watch on your laptop

Go to https://watch.spectrumutv.com/domainsearch/
Enter our school domain, csun.edu, as shown, and click Submit. Keep in mind that do not enter my.csun.edu as a domain
You will be prompted to enter your CSUN credentials. Enjoy

Watch on your device

The Spectrum app is available for download on the following platforms: 

When you launch the app, it will detect that you're on our network and automatically switch you to the SpectrumU service.

Note also that while SpectrumU is supported on Chromecast, this device will not work on our network due to the method it uses to communicate with your smartphone.

Watch on your traditional TV

To watch SpectrumU on a traditional TV, you'll need to get the app on a supported device (i.e. laptop, Apple TV, Roku) and connect via HDMI. This will also work great on a smart TV with Roku built-in. 

  • SpectrumU will only work while your device is connected to the college network ("eduroam" or  "csun_prt_devices" wifi and wired in park apartments).
  • If the network is connected properly, the app prompts you to CSUN authentication.  Students must log in with CSUN credentials.

Spectrum provides Spectrum U in University Park Apartments and Village Apartments. https://enterprise.spectrum.com/services/television/spectrumu.html

How to connect your device to the
CSUN network

CSUN's encrypted wireless network (Eduroam) requires a one-time login after the initial setup. Please note, that this network is an additional resource and does not replace the currently available CSUN wireless network.
Gaming devices (e.g., Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, etc.) and most Smart TVs and streaming media devices are not compatible with eduroam but are compatible with the unencrypted wireless network (csun_prt_devices).

Tips/Troubleshooting

  1. SpectrumU will only work while your device is connected to the college network ("eduroam" or  "csun_prt_devices" wifi / wired in park apartments).
  2. If the network is connected properly, the app prompts you to CSUN authentication.  Students must log in with CSUN credentials.
