Yukon TV User Manual
Updated November 2021
WELCOME TO YUKON TV!
Yukon TV is GCI’s new TV streaming service that delivers your news, shows, and movies
over an internet connection. Yukon TV lets you watch live or on-demand across your
TV, tablet, or phone, and continues to oer many of the features of traditional cable box
television like Video on Demand, DVR capabilities, channel guides, and more — though
there are a few key dierences.
Yukon TV:
Is a streaming application, like Netflix, Hulu, and others
Is delivered over a GCI internet connection (streaming does not count
toward usage)
Doesn’t use a cable box; it uses a streaming device
Allows you to watch TV on compatible phones, tablets, and TV streaming devices
Delivers all content in high definition (HD)
Why Yukon TV?
Change is not always easy, and no one wants another hassle in their daily lives. While we
understand this challenge, technology is constantly evolving and we must keep up so that
we aren’t left behind. Change is underway as cable boxes are being replaced by streaming
devices, much like VCRs were replaced by DVD and Blu-ray players, making streaming
apps the new, more ecient way to deliver video content. At GCI, we must follow suit with
the TV industry and adopt streaming technology to deliver programming. The good news:
as we upgrade the technology used to deliver TV services, not only can we continue to
provide the best-in-class technology by delivering TV service over an internet connection,
but we can also redistribute network resources to support upgraded internet and mobile
capabilities, including 5G and 2 gig internet.
Why does Yukon TV require a GCI internet connection?
Yukon TV requires a connection to GCI’s core network, which is the data source behind
Yukon TV service. Unlike other streaming apps, streaming Yukon TV at home does not
count toward your home internet plan’s included high-speed data.
Stream on, when you stream it on Yukon TV.
