<p>Theres not a whole lot missing there… I guess all you fans of the Disney Channel and Telemundo are just out of luck. Really though, I think it gives you pretty much anything you need.</p>

<p>NUTV is fine… not the best quality but if you’re clever enough you can still watch it on a big tv. It’s kinda neat watching it on the computer while you do your homework and stuff though.</p>

<p>How exactly does that work? It being on ur computer and all.</p>

5

<p>It’s only available if you’re in the campus network, such as in dorms, or on “nuwlan” wireless. You go to <a href=“http://www.tss.northwestern.edu/nutv/helpguide/[/url]”>http://www.tss.northwestern.edu/nutv/helpguide/&lt;/a&gt; and click “Watch expanded NUTV”… then a tv just opens, with a guide saying what’s on every channel… click and watch.</p>

<p>awesome…it has Fox = 24 :)</p>

<p>and comedy central :)</p>

7

<p>it sucks, there’s no nip/tuck</p>

8

<p>But TV lounges in MANY dorms get cable channels such as FX, and Nip/Tuck is popular enough that no one will want to kick you out when you want to watch.</p>

<p>dfleshi, this is a random question, but do many students at NU dress preppy?</p>

10

<p>hah… I mean, it’s probably the same amount as the general population… I haven’t noticed an excessive number of A&F/preppy people here. But they exist. It’s nothing notable.</p>

11

<p>What? No Food Network? How do you get your Iron Chef fix?</p>

12

<p>If there was the Food Network, I’d probably get nothing done and fail all my classes. Not kidding lol</p>

13

<p>I’m from somewhere where almost nobody dresses preppy (except tourists), so I think that a ton of people here dress preppy. But if you’re from the mainland, especially a reasonably upper class neighborhood, you probably won’t even notice.</p>
