Getting started guide.

TV Service

As of Fall 2015, the Canisius Cable system carries only Digital and HD channels.  Older analog TVs will require analog-to-digital converter. 

In order to take advantage of the TV service on campus, you will need to bring with you a television with a clear QAM tuner and a coaxial cable. There is one coaxial cable television outlet per bedroom, however you may use a splitter if you would like to connect a second television.

Channel Lineup & Program Listings

  • The TV directory can be viewed on channels 23.1 through 23.10. You can also view the full listings by going to Screener. Click on "TV Listings" and use the university's zip code (14208) as your location.

  • For all other residence halls select: Canisius University - Cable (Buffalo)

How do I make my analog TV work on the school's digital cable system?

  • If you have an older analog television and your school cable system is digital, your television cannot receive the signal without use of a digital-to-analog converter box.

  • Apogee has tested and recommends Technicolor DCI 401 because it is a “100% compatible” model. All standard definition and high definition channels will pass through the converter box and display on an analog television. Your high definition (HD) channels will be scaled down and will not be in a true HD format but will be viewable.

  • There are less expensive set top box converters that are 99% compatible. The iView 3500STB II has been recommended by users. Less expensive set top boxes occasionally have closed caption or emergency alert notification problems.

  • The following page has information about the converter box you would need to buy. ( https://myresnet.com/public/files/digital_tv_faq.pdf )
