This article is intended for users who are setting up their TV for the first time  on the UConn campus. 

Setting Up One TV 

To properly setup a TV, you need to connect the coaxial cable from the wall to the back of the TV.

Note

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.

Once your coaxial cable is connected, scan for available channels.

Setting Up Multiple TVs 

If you would like to connect multiple TV’s in one room, you will need to purchase a TV coax splitter, as seen below, and connect the coaxial cables from the wall to the back of the TVs.

Example photo of what a coaxial splitter looks like.

  • For a 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.
