HTPC "RF IN / TV IN" not type F (help) (1 Viewer)

[Unregistered]

I bought a Intel 2005 Entertainment barebones PC and the only thing on it I'm confused about is the RF in / TV in for coaxial. It's not the standand type F and it didn't include any cables or converters for it. It looks a little like BNC but even that won't fit. BNC is too small. I'm thinking it might be type N but I'm not 100%.

I bought a short standard coax cable and cut off the end and stripped the cable a bit. I then put the copper wire in the connector in the computer's coax tv in port and did a channel scan and it worked. The picture was very fuzzy but it did pick them up. I'm going to call up intel but if anyone here has a clue, let me know.

I tried type N but it was too large. I think it might be aerial pal connector. I'm going to try a converter from radioshack.

I think it might be aerial pal connector.

If the marking on the sticker are any indication, it looks like a the card is designed for a Pal B/G input.

Looks like a standard aerial antenna to me ... but I'm from PAL country, so ...

Do you think these would fit? -->

I've got a converter from Pal to type F coax in my pocket but it looks way too small. I'll find out here in about an hour whether it works or not.

I use a couple of these to convert from F-type to PAL for my RF antenna feed.

It was the PAL input. Thanks all.
