    That's not it. The RF coaxial side must be female. The adapter side, that is to say the side that goes into the HDX, must be male.

    This one would be closer:

    But the RCA pin is too long and the diameter of the pin(girth) is too wide.

    I've been looking for a supply also. Checked Digikey's catalogue but couldn't find anything appropriate.

    Hi, I just got my HDX9494nr entertainment monster from a friend, and I found the adapter you're looking for. It's actually a PAL/IEC adapter, with a male PAL/IEC to female type F(coax) config. I included a link to an ebay vendor, but it may be dead before you get this.
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0035&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab=Watching
    I really had to do some research before I was able to sift thru the crap and jargon to determine that PAL and IEC are the same plugs, although I am still fuzzy on why they use PAL to describe a plug format, instead of a broadcast format?! Anywayyyyyyy.... Just search for a PAL or IEC to type "F" adapter, and you should have no trouble finding them all over; then you are free to plug in any readily available atsc or ntsc antenna with a regular type F coax plug. Hope this helps, I am LOVING this ridiculous beast myself :)

    Hi, just wanted you to see my post about the adapter for the HDX, check out a male PAL/IEC to female "F" adapter, this is what you are looking for; NEVER try an RCA, you will ruin the jack on your HDX... Hope this helps in your search for a supply!
