SpectrumU
SpectrumU is a video streaming service that uses @uwgb.edu account to access over 200 channels, along with a wide selection of on-demand shows and movies. SpectrumU will be the replacement for cable TV starting late December on campus.
When connected to the University wired or wireless internet, SpectrumU allows on-campus residents have access to expanded channel lineup and stream On-Demand content. This service will not be available for any devices connected to the "wireless guest" network. When not connected to the campus network you are still able to use the service, but some content will be unavailable and you will be limited to a single stream.
