This service is on a first-come, first-served basis.  Please contact Jarlath Waldron.

Frequently Asked Questions About Connecting to Cable TV Services

How do I "autoprogram" my TV or VCR?

Often an "autoprogram" process is necessary the first time you connect your TV/VCR to a new video signal. After confirming that your TV/VCR is set to receive cable, use your remote control to access your on-screen menu. Find the "autoprogram" function and initiate it by selecting it in the menu (or pressing the program button on the front of the TV or VCR.) You should then see the channel number indicator on your screen advance as your TV/VCR searches for live signals. After a minute or so the auto-programming should be complete.

I am not receiving a signal. What do I do now?

If there is still no signal after following the instructions above, there may be a problem with your WCVN outlet. To report the problem, call Henry Ordway at ext. 2363, or send email to hordway@wellesley.edu
