CABLE

Important information for utilizing your cable connection:

  • A 10 ft. coax cable will be provided for you to connect your TV to the wall jack. If a coax cable is not available in your room, you may pick one up at the ITS Help Desk  located in the Technology Hub Room 115.

  • You must auto tune your TV to enable it to recognize the BU campus cable programming channels. Refer to your TV's instruction manual or the TV manufacturers website.

  • You will not need an HDMI cable unless you are providing your own set top box (STB) converter. Spectrum has suggested the the IView-3500STB if your TV does not have a QAM tuner. This converter is available from various on line retailers.

  • Each bedroom is equipped with one campus cable-TV jack. If your suite has a common room, there will be one campus cable-TV jack there as well.

  • If you need assistance, please contact your Res Con by calling the BU Help Desk at 777-6420 or refer to the ResCon page.
