The first time you log into the SpectrumU app, make sure you are on campus and connected to UC's wired or wireless network.


  1. Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and download the SpectrumU TV app. When the app is opened, you'll be presented with the "Let's Find Your School" screen. Enter ucumberlands.edu and click on Submit.

  4. After your first sign-on, SpectrumU will automatically authenticate the next time it's launched, so you won't need to sign on again until the authentication token expires.

    If you see a banner at the bottom of the app asking you to "Connect to Campus WiFi" for more, this indicates you're not using an on-campus UC wired or WiFi network and, due to programming restrictions, some channels will be unavailable.
