University Housing is pleased to provide our residents with expanded basic cable service within their residence hall room.
What you Need
Televisions must be cable-ready and able to receive at least 80 digital cable channels. Analog-only televisions will not work without a signal conversion box. You will also need a working coaxial cable to attach your television to the cable TV connector on the wall jack provided. Have the owner’s manual for your television and a working remote available.
Installing Your Cable TV
The following instructions are generic in nature and are meant to serve only as guidelines. Please refer to your TV owner's manual for specific instructions for your model.
- Connect the TV to the cable TV connector on the wall jack provided using a coaxial cable. If the TV has more than one input jack, select the one labeled Cable or CATV
- Plug the TV power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the TV power on.
- Configure your set to receive Cable or CATV signals, usually accessed through a Menu or Seup option on the TV's remote control. If unsure, refer to your TV owner's manual for specific directions for your model.
- Program the TV to receive channels, usually accomplished using the same MENU or SETUP option used above, by locating and selecting an option labeled Autoprogram or Channel Scan option. The TV will search through all channels and program the working channels.
Your TV should now receive all the basic Cable TV channels offered.
Please Note: Your TV must have a built-in Clear-QAM tuner in order to receive channels on ASU’s cable network. Please refer to the technical specifications on your television in order to locate this info. If you are not sure, you can contact the
Residential Life Technology Center with your TV’s make and model and a technician will determine whether or not your television will work.
