Students must supply their own television and coax
cable cord. The length of this cable can vary, based upon the
residence hall you are in, and how far away you locate your television
from the outlet. If you are not already sure of the length
you will need, we recommend a 25' cord to be safe.

When you first plug in your television, by
default, it will only access channels 2-13. You may also
notice this if you have just returned from break or your
television was unplugged for any length of time. If
this is the case, you will need to reprogram your television
to the Cable setting, and may also need to instruct your
television to search for new channels after changing to the
cable setting. Most televisions have a "search for new
channels" feature. |
We recommend that you use your remote to do some on-screen menu
programming. Search through the menu options for SETUP,
and then look for something like "ANTENNA". The
antenna (or SIGNAL) should be set to "CABLE" and not
AIR. If
it is set to AIR, it will only allow you to receive up to channel
13. Once it is set to CABLE, you will get all of the channels. Every
television uses different designations, so you might need to
poke around for a while until you find what you are looking for.
After you have the antenna set correctly, use the on-screen
menu to do an "AUTO PROGRAM" (or "Search for New
Channels"),
which will store the channels for you. If you are still
having trouble, consult your owner's manual for proper instructions,
or see contact information below.
Cable Television Trouble
If after hooking up your coax cable from the outlet to your
television, and you have a poor signal or no signal at all, there
are a few possible causes.
Possible Causes:
1) Coax cable is not securely
tightened on both ends (back of television and at the wall
connector). In this
case, make sure both ends are snug, then check signal
again.
2) Coax cable, center conductor (copper
wire) is bent or broken off. Make sure it is straight
before connecting to either end. If it is broken,
you will need to replace the coax cable.
|
 |
3) Wall connector is loose and spins
when trying to attach coax cord. This will result
in a poor connection.
4) Wall connector has paint
covering much of the barrel and keeps you from tightening
the coax cable securely.
If you have tried to correct the problem, but are still
having trouble and need assistance, click on the Cable
Television Trouble link, or call ext. 4664 to
report the problem. |
