TV aerial

firsttimesellerldn

Hello - we moved into a new house recently and it doesn’t have the type of TV aerial point I’m used to seeing. These two cables are all we have. Does anyone know how I can plug them into my TV to get terrestrial TV, or are they old Virgin cables or something else? There appears to be an aerial on the roof. Thank you!

They are cables for connection to a satellite dish, for terrestrial  TV you need an aerial and co-ax feed with a co-axial plug.

Try and track the cables back to see if they got to a satellite dish or aerial. 

Occasionally, you can get aerial cables with those ends on. You'd either need to change the end or get a converter to change it into a push on aerial connector. Something like the below (cheaper options may be available)

is there a wall plate to plug an aerial lead into maybe?

Thank you! I will give this a go. 

(In answer to the other posters question, nope no wall plate just these cables)

Have a look outside your property. Do you actually have a TV aerial?

I can't help at all, but thanks for asking this question - I just discovered yesterday that my tv cable is exactly the same as the one on the right in your picture. I was assuming it was from the aerial on the roof, due it coming in from the front of the house, but it might be from the satellite dish (which I'm getting removed) from the back of the house.
