    I think you need to get a special cable, theres a schematic for the cable in the alienware knowledge base I believe

    Does your tuner use a standard rg59 cable connector? And what is your antenna cable-300 ohm twin lead? If so, there are 300 ohm to 75 ohm balun adapters that are available at any local electronics store that will fit your needs.

    You need an adapter to get the m9750's port to connect to regular coax lines.
