New Cable TV Provider!

Privatel offers an exciting service that lets residential Rider University students watch live TV and On Demand (coming soon!) content on their devices, including, laptops, tablets and smartphones from anywhere on campus. STAY TUNED for more information!

Students will need to perform a channel scan because all channels have moved.

 

Cable TV

Rider University offers digital cable TV channels. You will need to have a digital television equipped with “QAM” or “Clear QAM” tuner to receive digital programs. High Definition channels require a TV with QAM and HD Ready capability.  

Which cable TV channels are available on the Lawrenceville Campus?

How to Connect

All residence hall rooms have one cable television outlet which resembles the “antenna or cable” input on the back of your television. Students will need to purchase a 75 ohm coaxial cable to connect a television to the outlet. There are 2 types, "screw-on" and "push-on". Either will work, but "screw-on" is highly recommended for better reception. Cables are available in most stores that carry electronics. A heavier coaxial cable (RG-6) is recommended for better picture quality as well as a length of 15 to 25 feet to reach most areas of rooms. Be careful not to bend the center copper pin on either end of your cable when connecting them. Use of a splitter is discouraged as it could compromise the TV signal and cause reception issues. Need more help? Watch the video on connecting the TV to cable.

Installing Your Television

For most TVs, when initially plugging in the power cord and connecting the coaxial cable to the cable television outlet, it will need to be told to "search" for available channels. Consult your TV manual to find out how your model television can be programmed. Most TVs will need to be set up with the “Cable TV” or “Digital Cable” as the program source. After setting this parameter, you will use the “scan” or “learn” feature to scan for available channels. We highly suggest that you perform the scanning process at least once a month since our cable provider may move or add channels at any time.
