I’ve been planning to use a DVB-T dongle in a MythTV setup and couldn’t find any information regarding the socket type on it and whether or not an adaptor would be required to attach it to a roof arial.

Does anyone know?

It’s an MCX - Micro Coaxial - connector. You would need something like this: [http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-mcx-plug-to-coax-socket-aerial-adapter-n62ln](http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-mcx-plug-to-coax-socket-aerial-adapter-n62ln)
