• The ASUS My Cinema U3000 TV Box has an internal antenna. You may use it, or you may also connect an external antenna/roof antenna to the U3000 through an MCX-to-IEC adapter.

•You cannot use the internal and external digital antennas at the same time, so you need to specify which antenna you will use. See page 3-6 for details.

•The internal antenna provides easy portability and more chances of digital TV reception when the roof antenna or the external antenna is not available.
