    Hi,I recently bought a s/h Acer 7720g 17" laptop and im trying to find out what type of TV tuner card i have inside my laptop,also im trying to find out what type of cable i need to connect my card/laptop to a TV antenna?There is a very small connector plug towards the back right side of the laptop so i presume that is where the antenna connects into.I would say that if it is the connection for the antenna i would need some sort of adapter cable to fit a normal coaxial cable into it.Can anyone help? Thanks.

    The laptop comes with it's own antenna for DVB-T card. There seem to be two types of cards available but I don't know how to identify them. Maybe you should try looking under device manager->tv-card->properties->details->hardware IDs and look for the ID number on INTERNET. I think that the original part number is 50.ABD02.003, but I'm not 100% certain. Can you post a photo of the connector? I might be able to visually identify it.
