TV and digital television adapter
There is cable TV network of Elisa or DNA in the housing locations of Soihtu (excluding building Q of the Kortepohja Student Village). This means a digital television adapter must be compatible with a cable network.
If you don’t succeed tuning channels to your digital television adapter and can’t find a signal, first restore factory settings of the digital television adapter after which you can tune the channels normally. More specific instructions you can find in the user manual of your device.
