Residence Life Services
Television Services
Since Fall 2022, all FDU residential students have access to Streeme IPTV streaming, the most powerful way to watch and record TV on campus. With Streeme IPTV residential students can watch live TV on any device, pause and rewind live TV, and record up to 20 hours of programming.
All residential students automatically receive access to the Streeme IPTV when they are given a housing assignment. This quick start guide will take you through the steps to begin your Streeme IPTV experience!
Before getting started, please make sure that your device is connected to the FDU Network either through Wi-Fi or an ethernet cable in your residence hall room as the Streeme IPTV operates from the FDU SSO platform. [Note: Ethernet cable is a click-in RJ45 jack. The circular coaxial cable once used for cable TV is no longer active.] If you are logging into Streeme IPTV using a Smart TV or a TV with a Roku installed, please follow the steps in this video for additional information.
To get started, please make sure your non-FDU owned device is registered and connected to the FDU network. Additional information on how to do so can be found here
Rokus, firesticks, game console, etc. also need a non-pc device registration. See the PDF files below for more detailed instructions:
