Zip-TV

ZIP-TV is a campus cable TV network that was established in 1997 by the Department of Telecommunications. Channels that are provided give the campus community a variety of educational, news, and entertainment programming. Included in our 90 channel line-up is the Campus Information channel and two movie channels, the Residence Life Cinema channel and ZipFlicks that features current and classic film releases during the Fall and Spring semesters.

 

DTV Transition and ZIP-TV Cable

On February 17, 2009, analog television stations will shut down their analog transmitters as the last phase of the transition to Digital Television (DTV). The DTV transition applies only to television received over the air with an antenna and will have no impact on services offered by ZIP-TV. We have already taken precautions so that ZIP-TV services will not be disrupted and the transition will not affect campus cable service in any way. You will not need to change or update equipment in any way in order to continue to receive the cable service you have today.

If you happen to see any message on any television channel on ZIP-TV that your television set is not capable of receiving broadcasts after February 17, 2009, you can safely disregard it.

For viewers who have or are planning to get a digital television, ZIP-TV is now broadcasting DTV/HDTV signals. We use the "HDTV Cable" standard (also known as 256QAM). All of our DTV channels are free and broadcast "in the clear" without encryption. See our full channel lineup below for more details.
