A concise, practical clarification and sourcing plan to sit above this thread.

LifeView CardBus tuners in the FlyDVB / LR‑502 family use a single “HYBRID AV CABLE” that plugs into a small 9‑pin connector on the card and breaks out to the composite/video and stereo audio jacks. That means the yellow/red/white plugs you’re thinking of are the breakouts on the end of a single proprietary lead — separate loose RCAs won’t mate to the card itself. (lifeview.com.tw)

How to find a replacement: search for exact phrases such as LifeView FlyDVB hybrid AV cable, FlyDVB Duo CardBus AV cable, or LifeView AV cable 9‑pin and compare seller photos carefully (the plug shape is what matters). Check marketplaces (eBay, Amazon, AliExpress), electronics salvage shops, or sellers of used TV‑tuner parts. If you can’t find a listing, contact LifeView technical support (manuals list support@lifeview.com.tw) and ask for the spare‑part name/part number — the official manual/specs explicitly list “AV‑Cable” in the package contents. (manualslib.com)

Short‑term workarounds and DIY cautions: the card also has an antenna/coax input you can use for TV reception; to capture composite sources you can use a cheap composite‑to‑RF modulator to feed the tuner’s antenna input. If building an adapter, first identify the pinout with a donor cable and a multimeter and don’t guess connections — incorrect wiring can damage the tuner. Use donor cables from broken LifeView/ FlyDVB units where possible. (lifeview.com.tw)

Note: — if the card was sold as “complete/new,” insist the seller supply the missing accessory or offer a refund; and — local electronics/surplus stores and salvage are often the fastest way to turn up a correct hybrid lead.

The cables that you're missing are pretty much standard. You can get them in any PC or TV hardware store.

i have looked on the internet for these multi cables and cant find anyone who supplies them, i have tried ebay and a seller said he may be able to get his supplier to supply one sometime after xmas but i could do with it before xmas

I guess, you'll have to go to the store then. Funny that e-bay wouldn't have cables like that. Anyway, those things come with cables, so if the lifeview cardbus is brand-new, you can demand replacement. You can always use 75 ohm coaxial your TV uses.

The "TV Antenna" jack (I think has a tread) practically doesn't need any adopter/jack/cable.
