Help: Antenna for ATI TV Wonder HD750

[johnnypoozer]

Hi all. First time posting, long time enthusiast.

I recently bought a TV tuner card, the ATI TV Wonder HD750 PCI-E in hopes that I would be able to watch live TV via analog reception through Windows Media Center (Win 7 64).

I love this thing and it works, but the live TV is a little spotty because I think the antenna is just too dinky. I want to be able to replace it, but I have no idea what kind of connection I am looking for. I went by the local stores to ask some TV/Computer "Experts" and no one had an idea what this connection is.

I figure I might include some images:

The cable looks like a male connection from an RCA plug, but its weird because its an antenna.

If anyone can help me figure out what this connection is or whether there is an adapter I can use, I would be forever grateful.

Side Question:
I also tried using this device to record the video output of playing a PS2 game. The video works, but I am damn confused about how to record audio seeing as they gave me cables like theses: http://imgur.com/MF06u

I got the yellow video cable connected but what about the green and blue connections? Which one is the correct audio?

These are really good questions. I think I can help with the first one. The plug for the antenna is common in Europe for PAL connections. That's why you get a PAL to NTSC adapter plug in the box (the small silver adapter). I'm not surprised people in North America are unfamiliar with the PAL type plug. The adapter will allow you the use an antenna connected with the type of coax cable we are more familiar with in N.A.

As for the side issue, I have the same questions. What the heck are the green and blue connectors Diamond refers to mysteriously as "stereo audio input"? Are they 2.5mm mono plugs? If so, which is for the left and right channel? Nothing at all is written on the plugs! Why not just use RCA type plugs for the audio (as is used for the video). Seriously, who has male RCA to mono male 2.5mm plug converter cables lying around? And why are they not included if such a bizarre choice is made for audio inputs? Really, Diamond, you've done a good job confusing and pissing off customers!

Hmm, green is usually output, and blue is mic/line-in, but in this case, it could be some kind of stereo setup, unless you can use that card to display to a analog device ?
