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)
