Xfinity streaming TV for departments

IU Departments on the IU Bloomington, IUPUI, and IU South Bend campuses may use the Xfinity streaming TV service with a department-purchased Roku device.

1. To request access, complete the IPTV - Xfinity on Campus form, which requires:
   • Department using the Xfinity streaming TV service
   • The account number to which the TV subscription should be billed (monthly subscription fee per Roku device is $5). When you submit the form, the request will route for fiscal officer approval for the account number listed in the form.
   • A group account (to see yours, go to Your Accounts) that can be used to give permission to the subscription (a separate group account for each Roku device)
     Note:

     If your department is using a wireless Roku device, the group account should be registered with the IU Public Net service. For more, see Register your gaming console or media device at IU.
   • Campus location of the TV device (campus, building name)
2. After IUTV (iutv@iu.edu) has confirmed that the IU group account has been granted access, set up the Roku device with a departmental Roku account:
   1. Follow the Roku on-screen instructions to get to the Roku device linking page where the Roku code is displayed.
   2. Enter the Roku code, and select the option to create a new account.
   3. Enter generic user details for the department Roku account, such as:
      • First name: User 001
      • Last Name: Department TV
      • Email address: Use the IU group account email address approved for use with the Xfinity service, such as deptv@iu.edu
      • Password: Do not use the IU group account passphrase as the Roku account password
      • Birthday: Select random values
      • Gender: Select either male or female
   4. After saving the user details, you'll be directed to a screen requesting payment information. Click the Roku logo in the upper-left corner of the page to return to the Roku homepage, and then select activate a device.
3. After setting up the Roku device, follow the same instructions as a student, but log in with the group account mentioned above instead of your personal account.
