Connecting aerial to Toshiba UV2363DB

[slotnicki]

I have just purchased the above Toshiba TV and attempted to connect the aerial from my old TV. Unfortunately the cable won’t fit the port for the antenna on the new TV with or without the connector I used on my old TV.

My questions are as follows:

If I bought a new connector how would I know what type to buy?

If I bought a new aerial, I am concerned that I might have the same problem connecting it to the TV. I have seen some aerials that appear just to connect to a USB port - presumably I wouldn’t then need to worry about the antenna port?

Could you show us some pictures of the aerial cable connector, and the socket you are trying to connect it into?

New Tv port should be identical to old tv.

Same Q on AVForums before this. I asked for pics and stated the TV has two antenna inputs UHF and SAT 2 minutes after this thread was posted. No sign of the OP since 13:51 on there.

Tosh website shows the tv to have an F connection and a standard belling lee presumablt for sat and aerial

I've known people need to change the gender of the co-ax connector.

That's what's needed.

Yes, it should be.
But, it doesn't preclude the possibility that an f-plug adapter (or something similar) was left stuck in the old TVs antenna socket, hence the request for photos.
I guess we'll have to wait and see if the OP returns...

Thanks the person above has replied on the other forum. Here are the pictures:

The screw thread is for cable/satellite with the aerial connector below, surely?

Buy a male and female connector pack and connect the one that fits your TV to the cable.

Thanks the person above has replied on the other forum. Here are the pictures:

The old f type adapter should fit into the new TVs aerial socket, with the lead screwing into the end. If the adapter is still a tight fit, you could replace it....

Alternatively, you could buy a new lead.

I have responded on AV Forums. They came back there at 8 PM. I watch TV not forums at that hour

The TV aerial (unusually for UK) is an F-plug.... so I suspect a cheap amplified room aerial...

They have a F-socket to TV plug adapter (as pictured above).

All they need do is screw the F-plug into the threaded socket of the adapter and push that assembly into the lower IEC TV socket of the TV set.

Why they disassembled it when disconnecting cable from the old TV is a mystery.

So do you have a tv aerial or a satellite dish?
