2.  If the cable jack is broken off or pushed in, RA or HD submits a service form @ www1.easternct.edu/helpdesk as aPhysically Damaged Cable TV Wall Jack problem.

3 .   If the cable jack is physically OK, the RA or HD tests it with the test TV.

 4.  If the test TV does not show the channels, the RA/HD submits a service form @ www1.easternct.edu/helpdesk as a No Signal problem.

 5.  If the test TV does show the channel, the HD/RA refers the student back to the info sheet which reminds them how to scan the channels on their TV or determine if they have a TV with a QAM tuner and then gives them the options for either purchasing or borrowing an external tuner.

 6.  Student's that wants to borrow a loaner QAM tuner unit must pick it up from Media Services. They must bring their ID and fill out a loan form. The unit must be returned to Media Services it at the end of the school year (or they withdraw from Eastern.)
