Hello forum!
I have a problem with my notebook ASUS G70S while trying to use the installed Tv-Tuner.

I have a DIB7700 DTV tuner. Which I think is a Dibcom 7700 tuner:
Dibcom -- Chipsets
(the text that match best while searching google).

It says I have a "DIB7700 DTV tuner" driver number: 2.3.3.4 on the Device list in Control Panel.

Though at Asus download page it only contains cards like:
Liteon_TVT-1060 TV Tuner driver: V3.0.3.6_V1.1
*Yuan_MC-770A TV Tuner driver: V2.3.3.4_V1.4.9354*
Yuan_MC872 TV Tuner driver: V2.3.3.4
Yuan_MC570QA TV Tuner driver: V2.3.3.17_V1.5.0.1

I use the driver marked with *.

When searching channels inside Media Portal Configuration/TV Server I don't receive any channels or any signal notice that it has any contact. I have tried using the small desktop antenna that came with my Asus. A passive 10cm high antenna.

Questions:
1: Is the antenna too small? Needs to be used outside? I live in Sweden about 40km/24miles from a Station. (don't know exactly where)...

2: I have cable inside my apartment and the signal coming from the wall is DVB-T and analog cable mux. I think it maybe use 5V signal amplification (need to check that), and I'm planning to create a cable so I can insert the DVB-T signal to my G70S. Could that be working? TV-antenna cable to MCX-male(the antenna use this connector).

3: Now why is the driver named Yuan when I have a Dibcom card?

The most important question is nr2... Please help with that. :confused:
