if you have an aerial upstairs you could either buy a splitter (this will go in your loft) and run another RG59 Coax cable from the loft on the outside of the house and bring it back into the house (hopefully) behind where the free view box is going to be placed, terminate it with a twist on RG59 plug. The original Coax from upstairs to the aerial will then be re-routed through the splitter as well. This gives you the connection to the aerial whilst keeping the aerial Jack free and in use upstairs.

these guys will sell you the bits.

Or... as you state you do not watch much TV, remove the coax from the aerial that is currently terminated upstairs and not buy the splitter and just re-route some new cable from the aerial to the free view box location.

One other note. Signal strength and quality is very important if you are to receive the advertised amount of channels available to you.

and back to your original question. I think the socket you have showing a female (jack) connector is an F type. This normally uses SAT100 or SAT125 cable, however I have to stress "think". I would like to see the plate from a few different angles.

maybe im wrong but maybe this is spam, 2 posts you have made you have mentioned a website you apparently have used,

Freeview = Aerial
Freesat = Satellite dish

Sorry if I have done wrong here.

I tried to give a comprehensive answer, (hope you feel it was) but didn't want to then leave the post with the person who is trying to solve their problem with nowhere to turn.

I am new to the site and noticed many other people linking to sites so thought this was ok.

I will happily edit if you wish.
