It has twelve feed horns each capable of pointing to a different satellite. Off-air channels are received by antennae on Graduate Towers. The signal is then combined with the satellite transmissions received in Annenberg and distributed to the campus trunk. Currently, fifty-two channels are supported. The video trunk travels from building to building.
Vertical risers carry the cabling to each floor, where splitters allow runs to each wallplate.
To keep down costs, video reception simply requires a cable-ready television or VCR and a cable. No converter boxes are necessary for use of the network. Pricing Summary Payment for ResNet video services is included in the room rate charged to the student. For buildings that are not currently on the trunk, the user must pay all costs associated with bringing video services to the building as well as to specific locations. While DCCS plans and operates the video network, this has been a de facto state of affairs.
