Due to changing trends with the way students consume media – via streaming, on demand, on their personal device of choice, SU does not offer traditional cable TV service in individual residence hall rooms. We have made significant investments to our wireless network to accommodate the increasing demands of personal streaming services. As a Susquehanna college student, many of these streaming services are now available to you at a discount (e.g. Hulu, Amazon Prime). Additionally, Susquehanna sees the value in providing entertainment options in communal areas, so traditional cable TV service is available in all “suite-style” living spaces and residence hall lounges – as well as other communal areas around campus. Where cable TV is offered, a variety of digital and HD programming is available. In larger lounge/communal areas, a TV has been provided; while in smaller suite-style areas residents will need to bring their own TV. If bringing a TV for a suite area where cable TV service is available, you will need a TV with a QAM tuner (most modern flat panel TVs should have a QAM tuner – some very old “plasma” generation flat panel TVs, “bargain” brand TVs, or TV models designated as a “monitor” may not be equipped with a QAM tuner – consult your owner’s manual to confirm). Students must select the auto program/channel scan option from their TV’s menu after hooking up to the SU cable system for the first time. Our current channel lineup can be found on the attached PDF.
