A quote from the Tuner Information Center: "The T-70's 75 ohm coax jack requires a PAL to F adapter, such as Radio Shack part #278-261" (link below)
The adapter (shown above) converts the F connector used on 75 ohm coax (such as RG-6) in the US to the PAL (European) type connector on the back of your T-70.
I take it you're currently using the 300 ohm balanced connectors (to the right of the PAL jack) to connect your antenna?

Correct. The T-type 300 ohm antenna works okay in my basement system, though I suspect I'd get much better reception hooked up to an outside antenna. Which type antenna do you have?
I have a rooftop mounted, rotational, FM only Yagi. It's down at the moment, while some work was being done. Now that the weather's cooling off, I need to get it back up there. Meanwhile, I'm using a smaller (fewer elements) FM Yagi, mounted in my attic, and pointed at my favorite station. I'm using RG-6 quad shield cable, if memory serves me.
There's no need to suspect whether or not you'd get better performance from an outdoor antenna. So much of audio is subjective, but a quality FM antenna is pure science. The better the antenna, the stronger the signal you feed to your tuner. And the higher you mount the antenna, the further you can pick up a signal. Every one foot increase in antenna height equals one extra mile of reception.
Even if you keep your T antenna, get it as high up in your house (or outside your house) as possible.
Enjoy your new tuner.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try some of your suggestions.
