I hope that i'm in the right NG for this question.
I Just got a HP Pavilion PC with Win XP Media Center 2005 edition and it
comes with a TV tuner card.
My question is when connecting a coax cable to the back of the PC,the
connector on the PC seems smaller than that on a regular TV and the coax
connector on the cable will not fit onto the threads on the connector on the
back of the PC. This is a standard OTA antenna that I want to connect. Is
there some kind of adapter that may be available to accomodate the
connection? I tried the websites for HP,Microsoft,& Radio Shack but could
not find any info relevant to this.

Any help would be very much welcomed
Thanks.

Please disreguard last post, A friend of mine said that this connection is
not for the TV tuner card
but is supposed to be for some kind of LAN connection. The store that sold
me this PC said it has a TV tuner card. Evidently they either gave me the
wrong PC or gave me incorrect info about it.
I will contact the store where I purchased this and inquire further with
them.

Thanks.
