To Watch Live TV Online

With OnStream, you can watch a lineup of live streaming TV accessible throughout your campus, even outside your own residence hall (on approved networks). OnStream lets you stream the live TV you love wherever you want on your own devices – no TV required.

• Watch through the web browser (Chrome browser is recommended) on your laptop, tablet or phone. No app required.
• No need to log in to watch Live TV – just connect to an approved WiFi network*.
  • Approved WiFi networks are selected by your school. The Live TV connection will drop when you move between an approved and an unapproved network, or onto mobile (cellular) data.
• Go to www.watchdishtv.com to open your browser to the OnStream page.
• Also available on FireTV and Roku devices – search for the OnStream app. If the app is not found, your device may not be supported. Be sure to use the latest OS versions for the device.

To Watch in Room

Whenever you hook up a new or existing TV, you will need to run a scan to receive all your channels. To do this, start by hitting the Menu or Setup button on your TV remote control. Scroll over until you find an option that says channel scan or auto program. If given the option, make sure you select Cable rather than Air or Antenna for your search. All TV’s are different and may have different names for these features.
