The title says it all! I am going to be a house advisor (in charge of about fifteen dormies) this upcoming year, and based on an extremely informal study, have concluded that a television in the social room/house advisor’s room fosters socialization among the dormies as they gather around the pale blue glow.
I am also hoping to be able to watch “Angel” this year, as last year I was blocked from the television by other people as often as not. I don’t begrudge them, I just don’t like to miss the one hour of television that I regularly watch. I also have become a bit of a news junkie and would like to escape the college “bubble” and keep up with what’s going on through the nightly news.
So! How do I set up a television so that it receives the basic channels? (I’m thinking 2 - 22, 26, or so.) Do I have to pay for anything beyond six? I’m thinking I need to buy rabbit ears, but do I need to buy a cable box as well, or do 2 - 2x not count as cable? The dorm rooms and social rooms do not have cable outlets.
Thank you for helping me in my utter clueless state.
