Cable TV / Compact refrigerators

Can you order cable service for your dorm room? Are there cable outlets in all the dorms? Does anyone know where I would find info about this? Thanks in advance!!

Also, is there a wattage requirement for compact refrigerators?

Cable service is available in all the rooms, free of charge. (More info here.)

All the housing website says about fridges is this:
Quote:
Refrigerators may be kept in student rooms and some lounges in the Institute Houses. Refrigerators and locations must be approved by the House Manager and are subject to inspection for safety and sanitation. Damage caused by a refrigerator will be charged to the owner(s). Refrigerators which use sodium dioxide or ammonia for a refrigerant are not permitted. Refrigerators must be kept in sanitary condition at all times, including vacation periods.
The fire safety checklist says all fridges
Quote:
...MUST be plugged directly into outlet or a heavy-duty extension cord.
