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.
- 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.
