- Will the channel lineup change?
- If we order a premium channel and decide we want a different one, how do we change it?
- Not all our house residents want cable TV in their rooms. Do we really have to get it in all the rooms?
- Can we order Pay-Per-View movies?
- Can we order cable TV service before all the house residents come back from break?
- Our house already has a DSS dish. Can we keep that and get cable TV, too?
Cable TV Quick Reference
Channels are determined by the cable TV provider. You will be at the mercy of the cable TV service provider regarding the channels you receive as your basic cable service.
Once you order a premium channel, you must keep it for the rest of the quarter. There is one window of opportunity for you to change which premium channel you want, or to cancel it altogether. At the end of the quarter, after the last day of finals, up through the Friday of the first week of the next quarter, you can change premium channels. In order to do so, there must be written authorization from the president of the fraternity or sorority sent to NUIT at greek-telecom@northwestern.edu.
Not all our house residents want cable TV in their rooms. Do we really have to get it in all the rooms?
Yes you do. Cable TV service comes into your house through one main feed and goes to all TV outlets throughout the house. It is not possible to turn off cable TV service to some rooms while allowing it in others. Cable TV in the fraternity and sorority houses is an "all-or-none" situation.
No, Pay-Per-View is not available from the cable operator through this agreement.
Unfortunately you can't. NUIT needs new copies of the Telecommunications Use Agreement signed by each resident before cable TV can be installed.
No. The license agreement with the cable television provider dictates that they are the sole provider of television services. You have to choose between your DSS service and cable service.
