| 1255749 | 2012-01-25 19:38:00 | Its a USB adapter. I cant pull it to bits lol. Its not that easy to get into it. Unless I break it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255750 | 2012-01-25 19:49:00 | If the socket on the USB adaptor is damaged then you will have to break into it and replace the socket. Mind you dont damage the electronics when you break into it.If it doesn't go at the moment then you have nothing to lose. | WayneMiddy (14028) | ||
| 1255751 | 2012-01-25 19:55:00 | The other thing to consider is it Freeview capable otherwise it's going to stop working in September anyway. | WayneMiddy (14028) | ||
| 1255752 | 2012-01-25 20:01:00 | Its DVB-T so supports FV. Dont worry about it, It'll be easier buying another (either USB or PCI/PCI-E) tuner. I think USB adapters are pretty flimsy. This one was pretty loose, and you had to move it around a bit, to get a signal | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255753 | 2012-01-26 06:35:00 | I think the connector is a Belling Lee | BBCmicro (15761) | ||
| 1255754 | 2012-01-26 11:14:00 | I think the connector is a Belling Lee The big silver one could be called that. The small gold one however is not. The small one is an MCX (Micro-Coax) The cable is here: www.trademe.co.nz I think WayneMiddy has the best idea, removing the MCX connector entirely and adding something else that has a bit more strength. A panel-mount SMA connector would be good, if you could fit it into the TV tuner housing. |

| 1255755 | 2012-01-26 18:39:00 | Hmm a coax MAY fit (just). But you would have to drill a pretty big hole (where the connector is) on the side of this USB adapter. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255756 | 2012-01-26 18:58:00 | Well got the case off without breaking it. Just went around the sides with a utility knife | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255757 | 2012-01-26 21:27:00 | Ooh, can we see photos of the inside? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
