Cable TV Service
The Duke cable television system, DTV, provides the Duke community with high-quality cable television service. Our ground stations receive satellite signals and transport them through our privately-owned distribution system, which allows us to manage service remotely, without dispatching a technician.
The EdNet channel lineup is free at all times, and you may subscribe to any of the pay cable TV packages (see below) during the subscription window at the beginning of each semester. The subscription period for Spring 2011 semester is now closed.
You must pay for the entire semester in full when you subscribe. You cannot cancel service during the semester, and no refunds are available once the service period has begun. Service for Spring 2011 semester runs Jan. 10 through May 20.
Only one occupant in each room may subscribe to cable TV service, and we cannot split the billing for a service between customers. So, before you subscribe to cable TV services, you should come to an understanding with your roommates about the package you will take and the way you will share expenses.
When you're ready to subscribe, complete the Cable Television Service Subscription Form (PDF) and take it to one of the locations listed above, where our representatives will be happy to accept your DukeCard flexible spending account, MasterCard, VISA or personal check in payment. If you have questions about services, contact the OIT Service Desk.
