So, here’s the situation—I have this TV tuner card for Android. I'm trying to hook up an indoor antenna to the card, but I need an adapter since the ports don't match up. Does anyone know where I can actually find one?

What kind of connector does the card even use? You might end up having to DIY a solution, like splicing a coax antenna cable to some specific adapter for the card. A part number or—God forbid—an actual photo would be a massive help here...

Try Googling the specific model number of that TV card, or just throw it into an eBay search. You'll probably stumble upon a picture of what you need eventually...

Or, honestly, just take the card down to a Chipotle and ask one of the guys there. They usually have all sorts of random connectors lying around.

Geniatech MyGica PT-115 DVB-T for Android. It’s basically a TV tuner via micro USB—I guess you could call it a way to get broadcast TV on a tablet or phone if you're into that sort of thing.

For an MCX connector.
You’re gonna need this...

That’s true—but you can't find that anywhere, not even at Chipotle. Maybe it exists somewhere, but I guess the clerks just don't know. Thanks, though; I'll probably just take a photo and show it to the staff, maybe they'll have it. Would that cable actually work without an adapter—just one end in the stick and the other in the home antenna, and that would be it?

Coax cable is just two wires: the core and the shielding. It’s not rocket science. If you think you can wing the connections yourself, go for it...

That might work there—but that's Washington, D.C.—you won't find that kind of thing in San Francisco.
