Just bought 43" TV

Buy him a firestick with voice command and he will rarely use the tv remote. It worked for my 91 year old MIL.

This one has Amazon Alexa, so would he need the separate box/hub?

Looks like the tv will do it all for him so no stick required.Just speak to the LG remote.

His old TV had a connector for a screw-in cable/BB connector, but not this TV. I am guessing that type of connector has been superseded by ethernet connectors.

Never known a screw F-connector to be used for coaxial broadband/ethernet - 50 ohm BNC plugs, yes.  But RJ45 is now the standard connector used for unshielded twisted pair ethernet.

Much more likely the F-socket was for a Satellite tuner - from an LNB on a dish?

Cable TV tuners in TVs always use the same IEC/Belling-Lee TV plug as terrestrial (not that they are much use with UK Cable TV suppliers).

Virgin/NTL use the same connector for their broadband service but that requires use of their proprietary modems in their boxes, I've never heard of one built in to a TV set.

I left it unconnected, not sure what it was, TV worked ok.

There were two screw-in aerial type connectors and this other screw-in. I don't think he has ever had Sky/Virgin. I didn't connect an ethernet cable either, seemed to connect wi-fi ok

That makes no sense to me. 
Make and model of the old and the new TVs so I can Google the connections and handbooks to try to work out what you are referring to with these 'screw-in aerial type connectors'.

I already suggested that one in an earlier reply...  
Explain what the three (I've bolded the phrase that's incomprehensible to me {you'll need to show previous posts} without a picture / TV model number) are?

This one has 350 NITS and 20 watts compared to the 40" which had 220 NITS and 16 watts. I read that NITS is not a reliable figure.

What are NITS?

They are what a nurse used to visit a school and examine pupils' heads for infestation!
