                           TELE-COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

                       Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the

         -------------------

         Tele-Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TCI"), hereby
amends and supplements its Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement"), with
respect to the Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Antec
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Antec"). Antec's principal executive
offices are located at 2850 West Golf Road, Rolling Meadows, Illinois 60008.
Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall

hereby amended and supplemented by the new Schedule 1 attached hereto, which is

same.

ITEM 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
         -------------------------------------------------

         As more fully described in Item 4 below, on June 29, 1998, a subsidiary

from working capital.

ITEM 4.  Purpose of Transaction
         ----------------------

         Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

         Pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated
as of April 13, 1998, between Antec and TCI TSX, Inc., a subsidiary of TCI, TCI
TSX, Inc. purchased 500,000 shares of Common Stock in a private transaction on
June 29, 1998. The purchase price for such shares was $7,250,000. TCI acquired
beneficial ownership of the shares as an investment and without any present

Cusip No. 03664P105
  
500,000 shares of Common Stock is a portion of shares of Common Stock Antec had
the right to acquire from a third party.

         Except as otherwise described in the Statement, as amended, neither TCI
nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of its executive officers, directors or
controlling persons, have any present plans or proposals which relate to or
would result in: (i) any acquisition by any person of additional securities of
Antec, or any disposition of securities of Antec; (ii) any extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving Antec or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a
material amount of assets of Antec or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change
in the present board of directors or management of Antec, including any plans or
proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing
vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of Antec; (vi) any other material change in Antec's business or
corporate structure; (vii) any changes in Antec's charter, by-laws, or other
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of Antec by any person; (viii) any delisting from a
national securities exchange or any loss of authorization for quotation in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association of
a class of securities of Antec; (ix) any termination of registration pursuant to
section 12(g)(4) of the Act, as amended, of a class of equity securities of
Antec; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, TCI may determine to change its
investment intent with respect to Antec at any time in the future. In reaching
any conclusion as to its future course of action, TCI will take into
consideration various factors, such as Antec's business and prospects, other
developments concerning Antec, other business opportunities available to TCI,
developments with respect to the business of TCI, and general economic and stock
market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Common
Stock of Antec. In particular, TCI reserves the right, depending on other
relevant factors, to acquire additional shares of the Common Stock of Antec in
open market or privately negotiated transactions. Further, TCI may elect to
dispose of all or a portion of its holdings of shares of the Common Stock of
Antec or to change its intention with respect to any or all of the matters
referred to in this Item at any time in the future.

         Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

Stock. Of the 7,681,341 shares beneficially owned, 6,827,000 shares are
currently owned of record by a subsidiary of TCI and an additional 854,341
shares may be acquired upon the exercise of the TCI Options. The 7,681,341
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by TCI represent approximately 19% of
the 40,238,847 shares of Antec Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 1998, as
reported by Antec in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 and adjusted for the exercise of the TCI Options.

President of TCI. Larry Romrell, an Executive Vice President of TCI, holds
options to acquire 16,200 shares of Common Stock, which are fully vested. Other
than as stated herein and as previously reported with respect to Mr. Schotters,
to the knowledge of TCI, no other person listed on Schedule 1 hereto has an
interest in any securities of Antec. 

         (c) During the past 30 days, JC Sparkman, a Director of TCI, has
exercised options for 16,200 shares of Common Stock and sold such shares
immediately upon acquisition through a broker at prices ranging from
approximately $19 to $22 per share.
