    There’s an antenna adapter showing on page 4 of the manual.
    I'm aware of that but not easy to find. If it's that easy I wouldn't have spent hours and 3 orders later and i'm still looking for it....
    I think you're going to struggle with that. Might be worth contacting Samsung UK to see if they can source one for you.

    Quite! :)

    A quick Google search doesn’t help either. 

    The TV has a scart input, so do you have anything like a recorder with a scart output and coax input? 
    Hi I'm afraid I don't. There are several things that look correct on ebay but after asking 10 sellers they never reply. I posted on AV forums too so maybe they can help. I don't have sky or virgin. I'm sure i'll figure it out just a bit of a pain. Thank you

    Probably! 

    I’m sure that it would be easy to make up a lead if you knew exactly what size plug goes into the TV?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Part number helps somewhat thanks. Even Aliexpress is sold out....

    The existing aerial socket in the TV is an RCA-type socket? Blimey!
    What's the point of that? They are pretty much the same size as eachother, so no size-saving. RCA is commonly used for audio signals, so a potential ton of confusion there.
    Weird.

    I don't think that's going to do the trick. As I mentioned I believe it's propriety connector, it's not an RCA connector. I could be wrong and maybe worth the punt but I doubt it.
