Cable TV

Cable TV is available through Hope College and Comcast for all residence areas at no additional cost to students living there. This includes all college-owned residence halls, cottages and apartments.

Our current cable contract with Comcast allows for active cable connections in common living areas ONLY. Bedrooms are not considered common living areas. Cable outlets located in bedrooms are left from previous owners. Activating these outlets is a breach of our current contract.

All valid connections will be active when you arrive. To connect:

1. Plug in the power cord for your TV.
2. Connect the cable jack on your TV to the cable jack on the wall (cables are available at the Hope-Geneva Bookstore)
3. Use the on-screen menus to set your TV's input to Cable (as opposed to Antenna)
4. Use the on-screen menus to Auto Scan or Auto Program channels

If you need assistance please call 888-COMCAST (888-266-2278).

All Hope College cable is provided by Comcast and the channel lineup is the same for the residents of the City of Holland. The current cable TV contract does not provide the College with a mechanism for offering premium services to individual residence locations.  In the past Comcast has (at times) been willing to setup separate agreements with an individual resident to provides such services. Comcast has not provided a formal process for making such requests.  Some have found it easy; others have been unable to make it happen.  You may contact them directly at 800-COMCAST with questions.

Visit Comcast for your Cable TV Channel Lineup - select the "basic service" package type for the line-up available to you.
