<p>I am about to buy a tv for my room, I have a bunch of questions on how cable service “works” at penn. I am living in the quad, what kind of cable service will I be getting? If I move my TV from home that is HD ready, will I get that service? Thanks a lot, I am clueless on this.</p>

<p>You get a standard cable offering. No HBO, Cinemax, etc. But you do get two Penn movie channels which show movies that are oftentimes not yet released on video. The cable will not be in HD.</p>
<p>I'm kinda bummed out that the common rooms don't even have HBO, Cinemax, etc...though Penn does offer a pretty good channel lineup. ESPN, TBS, TNT and the four networks is all I really need.</p>
<p>As for HD, I'm going to get an HD-ready TV for my 360.</p>
<p>perhaps if you get an HD antenna which can fit in your room...</p>
