    I'm planning to buy a avermedia a312, for my ifl91, what kind of antenna cable do I have to get? I took a look and the port and it's too small to fit a standard coaxial cable... What am I supposed to buy?

    Doesnt your laptop have to have a coax port built into it because all the card is doing is an antenna like wifi does around the cage of the laptop. For actual cable you will need a special laptop that has the port built into the laptop...if im not mistaken.

    The port is an MCX connector as far as I know. All you'll need is a small F Connector to MCX adapter and then you'll be able to use standard antennas or a cable line.

    It comes with the inputs(antenna+s-video in) already installed, adding a tuner and whatnot is up to you.

    Thanks, just the information I was looking for.
