    hey, just got my brand new sager np5791 , and it OWNS! anyways i got the tv tuner with it, and have no knowledge or experience with them. the dilema at hand, is that my standard tv cable that i want to plug into the computer (CATV input) is too large and isnt even close to fitting, i ran down to London Drugs (yes im in Canada) and to no luck, i couldn't find any type of converter or cable cord thingy that would fit. Am i missing something here or wat?? i got a pic of it to help, it's number 7 on the picture.

    The type of connector you need is what we in Holland name COAX connectors. You have male and female connectors and they can be mounted on any coaxial cable. The core of the cable connects to the tip, and the mantle of course to the mantle of the connector. An example of the plug you need (picture is of the male one):

    Hope this is of any help.
