Coax Cable Set Up

Attention Aroostook & Kennebec Hall: you are 100% streaming and will not need this.
When you move into your room you may have access to a CATV port.

  1. Screw the coax cable directly into the “Cable In” port on the back of your TV.
  2. Ensure that all cables are connected securely.
  3. In the Menu or Set-Up options on the TV, verify that the TV is set to CABLE or CATV.
  4. Run a channel scan. (This can also be done if you are missing channels.) NOTE: This setting is normally located in the menu or set-up option. However, it varies depending on the TV make and model.

For more information about cable at UMaine, please visit the Campus Cable page.

QAM Tuners

Only televisions with a QAM digital tuner will be able to receive the broadcast channels. Most televisions produced after 2009 are digitally compliant and have the necessary tuner, however, some less expensive television models may not.
