TV for higher education
Spectrum Business® TV for higher education has two service platforms to choose from —
SpectrumU® and Fiber Connect Plus. Neither option requires any in-room equipment.
- Fiber Connect Plus delivers HDTV programming and your custom content to TVs across your campus. Programming is delivered over existing wiring to make a direct connection to the TV. Students can choose from over 200 channels in a wide variety of packages to meet any viewing need.
- SpectrumU enables students to watch video programming — anywhere, anytime on personal devices. The service has over 200 available channels of live TV featuring entertainment, news and sports programming, in addition to a large on-demand library and the option to insert your custom content. Students can also access up to 80 TV channel apps using their university credentials.
Key benefits of TV service from Spectrum Business:
- The delivery infrastructure for our TV services provides a private and dedicated fiber connection to your location, which paves the way for additional Spectrum Business services like internet, WiFi and Unified Communications.
- Our wide variety of programming bundles and packages are available on both platforms.
- TV services from Spectrum Business are not susceptible to weather-related disruptions.
To find the best solution for your location, consider the following:
- All programming bundles and packages are available on both TV services. See enterprise.spectrum.com/channels for options.
- If you want programming content that can be viewed on mobile devices, tablets or computers anywhere on campus, SpectrumU is the perfect choice. Students can also view this content on their TVs via Apple TV, Chromecast or Roku devices.
- If you want programming to display in common areas, Fiber Connect Plus provides a direct connection from the cable wall outlet to the TV, eliminating the need for additional equipment.
- If you have custom programming content that you would like to have inserted into the channel lineup, Fiber Connect Plus and SpectrumU offer this capability.
- For a complete solution that allows students to watch programming on personal devices and on common area TVs, pairing SpectrumU with Fiber Connect Plus will cover your entire campus.
