TV & Gaming

TV – Smart TV Setup

Students in North Village: simply connect your TV to the cable outlet using an RG-6 coaxial cable. Make sure that you have set your TV for cable or CATV (vs antenna) and performed an auto program (sometimes called channel setup). If you find that your TV is still not working, please submit a repair ticket through our Housing Technology Service Ticket system.

*Please note that Riverview does not have an RG-6 Coax connection. Please see the Xfinity on Campus & DVR Service section for information on connecting to a TV.

Gaming Console - Connection

You may use game consoles in North Village through our wireless Saclink network. In order to get connected, please submit a repair ticket through our Housing Technology Service Ticket system.

As of the Fall 2022 semester ethernet jacks will no longer be activated for residents. Instead, students utilizing campus internet must connect their devices a wireless network. This means that gaming consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo), Smart TVs (Roku, Samsung, Apple TV, etc.), and personal computers (desktop and laptop) all must be connected to the Wi-Fi as Wi-Fi6 is available campus-wide.

Students without computers capable of connecting to wireless networks are encouraged to use one of the computer labs on campus, which can be found in each Residential Hall as well as other campus locations, such as the AIRC. Additionally, USB Wi-Fi adapters can be purchased online for computers and other devices that cannot connect to wireless networks & that typically require ethernet connections.

For more information on wireless connections, please visit refer to the Student Connectivity Guide for guidance on how to connect your device and find its MAC address.
