This article is intended for student students who wish to set up a TV for HuskyVision in their residence hall.
| Note |
|---|
HuskyVision is active in all residence halls, so no activation call is required to set up HuskyVision for students. Faculty should review the steps for requesting HuskyVision, and then fill out a HuskyVision Request Form. |
Requirements
To set up HuskyVision in your residence hall, you will need:
- A cable-ready TV. If the TV is not cable ready you will need a cable-ready DVD/media device.
- A coaxial cable to connect the TV to the HuskyVision faceplate (the faceplate with only a coax outlet).
- A second coaxial cable, if you are connecting a DVD/media device to the TV.

| Coaxial cables are available at the UConn Bookstore. |
Setting Up One TV
To properly setup a TV, you will need to connect the coaxial cable from the wall to the back of the TV. Once your coaxial cable is connected, you can then scan for available channels.

In some residence halls, there are two TV coaxial jacks. In this case, use the jack that is not on the same faceplate as a phone or data jack connection. Each room only has one active TV jack. For further assistance, contact HuskyVision support at (860) 486-4357. |
Setting Up Multiple TVs
If you would like to connect multiple TV’s in one room, you will need to purchase a TV coaxial splitter, as seen below.
...
On a coaxial splitter, the top input connection connects to the wall jack through a coaxial TV cable. The bottom has two output connections that can connect to two televisions via coaxial cables. Once you have connected the two output connections to the two TVs you intend to set up, you can then follow the above steps for Setting Up One TV.
