Question about cable...

<p>Can you get cable tv in your room and if you can does any one know if it is possible to watch yankee games on the YES network?</p>

<p>All the rooms in the dorms have cable. Here is the list of channels:||</a> PVN Channel Lineup & Reception Status || My personal favorite is the Penn Movie Network, which often plays (not so) soft porn.</p>

<p>Horatio Caine and his shades</p>

<p>We don't get YES. But you could buy mlb.tv.</p>

<p>We also don't get Phillies games btw, because they don't deal with Comcast. Probably the worst thing about Penn, actually.</p>

<p>wait, not even phillies games?!?!?!?!? they are my second favorite team! that sux, cuz that means i can't watch the phillies at all, mlb tv wont work for them in philly!
well whatever, its not really going to sway my decision...</p>

<p>Is it a good idea to have a TV tuner card installed in your laptop rather than buying a TV?</p>

<p>I know a lot of people use tuner cards. I tried it for awhile, but found that a TV is just easier to watch. To me, laptop means work, tv means relax time. </p>

<p>As a freshman at least, you probably won't watch a lot of tv, and certainly some people on your hall will have them. Wait some time and buy one later if you really find you want one.</p>

<p>Would strongly advise a TV. It's just more convenient, IMO, and easier for you and your friends to watch if you so choose. Also, if you game, having a separate TV is obviously much easier to hook up.</p>

<p>definately get a TV</p>

<p>and yes, not getting the phillies games (or the flyers, or a lot of the sixers) is an abomination, though occasionally there is a game on nbc or phl17 and the always infuriating espn games (boooo, non-homer broadcasters). being able to get regular cable was actually a factor in my deciding to move off campus after sophomore year, but I'm one of those people who watches way too much tv</p>
