Residents in The Radian College House (2023-2024, 2024-2025, 2025-2026) need to follow a slightly different set of setup instructions for accessing the full XFINITY on Campus live channel lineup.
How to Watch: XFINITY on Campus
Residents at The Radian must first connect to the University Client VPN before they can access the full XFINITY on Campus live channel lineup.

- 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. 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. Radian residents 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.).
