Hi just bought a new TV and tried to connect it to the aerial socket but found that both ends are male. How can I connect the two together?? Any ideas? I know I will need a connector but which one? thanks

Either buy a new cable with female to male coaxial connectors as shown here:

Or simply purchase a female to female adapter as in the image here:

Personally I would buy a new cable with sufficient length to reach from the socket to the tv. You can buy them from the Poundworld type shops.0 -

The coupler is a good idea, i've found they can fall off though. A bit of tape will do, but a proper male to female fly lead should give a stronger signal.0
