Cable television service is provided to every residential student. Service is provided in three formats: 1) direct access through coax cable jack in each residential room for every residential room 2) Residence Hall lounges for general community use television viewing 3) Mobile (smartphone, tablet, computer) through the use of Stream2. See below the channels provided by the Department Residential Education through Campus Televideo.
All non-TCNJ channels are provided in a ‘QAM’ digital format therefore all televisions on campus must contain a QAM digital tuner to receive the channels. Older analog televisions are no longer compatible with the College’s Cable TV system. Most televisions today are digital/QAM compliant, however less expensive or budget televisions may not be compatible. To find out if your television has a QAM tuner, check the specifications in your owner’s manual, or visit the manufacturer’s website.
What is a QAM tuner and how do I know if my TV has one?
A QAM tuner allows your TV to tune to digital or HD channels. Most, but not all, TV’s that were made after 2006 have a QAM tuner built in.
• You can search online by make/model of your TV or reference your TV’s owner’s manual for specific model information related to what type of tuner is present in your TV.
• An example of what the manual may say if the TV has a QAM tuner:
• “Built in digital tuner (ATSC/Clear QAM)”, or “NTSC/QAM“
• Additionally, if your TV remote has the (.) or (-) symbol button for easy tuning or is able to display channels such as 5.2 or 5-2, your TV likely has a QAM tuner.
• An example of what the manual may say if the TV does NOT have a QAM tuner:
• “ATSC / NTSC Tuner” (there will be no mention of QAM)
Model dependent, some televisions may not contain a QAM tuner such as:
- Apex
- Dynex
- Element
- Haier
- Seiki
- Sylvania
If you are choosing one of these brands, please verify that the model has a QAM tuner. Please be advised that less expensive TVs sometimes come with a lower quality QAM tuner that may be unable to tune all of the channels. We have found this to be true on certain models of bargain brands such as Apex, Dynex, and Sylvania.
