Students can set up a TV for HuskyVision in their residence hall. 

Info

HuskyVision is active in all has been discontinued in student rooms of residence halls, so no activation call is required to set up HuskyVision for students. Faculty who would like to set up HuskyVision should review the steps for requesting HuskyVision and fill out a HuskyVision Request Form, suites, and apartments as of the Fall 2023 semester. The service will remain available at this time for departments that use it in administrative and academic buildings.

For television service in your room, we recommend that students bring a smart TV or streaming (e.g., Roku, Fire TV Stick) and subscribe to a commercial streaming service(s) of their choice.

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 face-plate with only a coax outlet).A second coaxial cable if you are connecting a DVD/media device to the TV.

Info

Coaxial cables are available at the UConn Bookstore.

Setting up one TV 

After your TV is set up, you can scan for available channels.

  1. Connect the coaxial cable to the HuskyVision faceplate (the faceplate with only one coaxial connection) and the input jack on your cable-ready TV or DVD/media device. If a DVD/media device is being used, connect a second coaxial cable from the DVD/media device to your TV.

  2. Check to make sure the TV and/or DVD/media device is set to the appropriate mode(s) to receive cable. For most TVs, you can set the mode to either Cable or TV. 

  3. Auto-program your TV and/or DVD/media device for the available HuskyVision channels. 

    1. Enter the on-screen menu for the TV and/or DVD/media device by selecting Setup or Menu on the device’s remote control or the device itself.

    2. Navigate to and run your TV's Auto-program/Channel Search feature.

Your TV and/or DVD/media device should now be able to receive cable.

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.

Connecting multiple TVs in one room requires a TV coaxial splitter, as seen below.
