Residents in The Radian College House (2023-2024, 2024-2025, 2025-2026) and Axis need to follow a slightly different set of setup instructions for accessing the full XFINITY on Campus live channel lineup.
For our Movie Streaming Service, follow the instructions on the Movie Streaming Service information page.
How to Watch: XFINITY on Campus
Residents at The Radian and Axis must first connect to the University Client VPN before they can access the full XFINITY on Campus live channel lineup. If you are trying to watch XFINITY on Campus while at The Radian or at Axis and do not first connect via the University Client VPN, you will have access only to the TV Go channels and your personal Cloud DVR.
- Download the University Client VPN
- Connect to the University Client VPN on your desktop, laptop, or mobile device.
- Once connected via the University Client VPN, you can stream all XFINITY on Campus channels on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.
While you can have up to 3 active registered devices under your name, you can only stream to 1 device at any given time.
LOGGING IN TO XFINITY ON CAMPUS

IMPORTANT: 3rd Party Devices
Devices that are not capable of using the University VPN client will not be able to stream the full XOC lineup in The Radian or Axis. This includes but is not limited to common devices such as:
• Roku Streaming Devices
• Amazon Fire devices
• Smart TVs
The University VPN client requires devices run either macOS, Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Android, or Linux. For more information, see: https://www.isc.upenn.edu/how-to/university-vpn-getting-started-guide
(Note: Linux is not officially supported by the University and the Linux version of the VPN client is provided as-is.)
Please note: The University Client VPN is required only for the full XOC live channel lineup. Residents at The Radian and Axis can still use their Roku Streaming Devices, Amazon Fire devices, and Smart TVs for their own personal streaming accounts (e.g., YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.).
