Only way of knowing is trying or opening the socket and looking

What I meant was that it's common for the cable to be installed and wired to the socket but the other end of the cable is left coiled up in the loft and not actually connected to anything e.g. aerial distribution amplifier etc.

Ok so plugged in a fly lead today and did nothing

tried a portable aerial and got some sort of picture but c*ap signal to be honest. can this be improved via a different aerial or should I try and wire it up (or get someone to do it) Is it easy to do?

I don't think your skill level is up to much at the moment, so if if means going onto the roof top I suggest you leave it to someone else...

Sounds as if your wall socket isn't connected to an aerial. Where does its cable go to?
