Television on campus – Important information<\/h3>\t\t\t

For a new list of the updated cable channels<\/strong>, please click on\u00a0this link: \u00a0Television Channel Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your digital television must have a\u00a0QAM tuner<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) to work with the school\u2019s cable service. The QAM tuner allows your TV to receive high definition cable programming without a cable set top box. Unfortunately, some less expensive TVs come with a low quality QAM tuner that may not be able to pick up all the digital channels. You should verify the specifications when you purchase your TV.<\/p>\n

An NTSC (National Television System Committee) tuner is not compatible. This TV will require a digital-to-analog converter box to view television signals. (See information below to purchase a converter).<\/p>\n

An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner can receive digital signals but is not compatible with the school\u2019s cable system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

Insurance Information<\/h3>\t\t\t

Take a look at this video for why it\u2019s important for you to be covered by insurance for your belongings:<\/p>\n
