    so i bought a Habey MiniPCIe TV tuner and got it all configured. i used the stock antenna that was already plumbed to the side of the laptop. does anyone know what type of CATV connector that is on the side of the laptop? it's female and looks like an sma except there are no threads. i havent seen an antenna with a push on style sma anywhere. am i missing something? if someone could shed some light on this i'd appreciate it. i don't see anything when i search for "x8100 tv antenna" either. seems very elusive. help!

    is that the male or female end?


    edit: that looks like an MMCX male and it fits inside of the female. mine requires fitment OVER the female and a center conductor that inserts.

    OK gentleman, i've found it.. it IS a standard slip on F connector. I feel a little stupid, but i also dont know why any distributor i talked to didn't know either. i talked to Malibal, Eurcomm, XoticPC, Sager, iBuyPower and Clevo direct wouldnt respond to my emails or there service centers said they didnt have the information. thats ridiculous.

    I don't want to be rude but I think that the "F connector" discription will not be enough, You have F6, F11, F56C,.......
    I hope that you can find what you are lookinf for easily. Shame on clevo that they didn't know what they have in their laptop.
