    previously i found unused wwan antenna cables in my L502X (see pic below). since i chose the tv tuner option (there is no wwan options in australia), I tried unplugging the external antenna cable from the tv tuner and plugging in both wifi cables and it works! but obviously digital tv reception is less compared to the external antenna in my apartment but it might improve when out and about. this would be a cleaner solution for tv on laptops :)

    HI
    I know, it's of the topic, but could you pass me a number from the sticker on WIFI-WWAN-TV internal cable, please?
