Cable TV Questions
Some TVs and VCRs require the original remote control to access the on-screen programming features that are used to put it in CABLE mode. While you can purchase a universal programmable replacement, it may not allow you to access the unit's special programming features. Consult your owner's manual and, if necessary, call the manufacturer to order a replacement remote control.
The UNH Catvision does not sell or give out remote controls.
Check with your floormates to verify that there is not a larger outage, but rather a problem with your cable TV jack, coaxial cable, or television. If the problem is common among all of your floor mates, call 862-2253 to report the problem.
If your floormates are not having problems:
• Make sure all of the cables are properly and securely attached.
• Verify that your TV has a built in QAM tuner, and that your TV has been auto-programmed to receive digital signals.
If all else fails, then try using a different cable. If you still have no service, then call 862-2253, and we will set up an appointment to diagnose and remedy the problem.
