I am currently studying a book produced by the CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries).
In it I was suprised to read that coax style plugs are only really used in Europe. With the USA favouring F-Type threaded connectors.
I have always thought coax plugs to be of poor design as over a period of time with pluuging and unplugging the socket in the TV, VCR etc... becomes very loose. It is the normal thing to use F connectors on satellite/cable equipment.
Just wondered if anybody had any idea why the UK/Europe didn't adopt F connectors many years ago?
Why don't freeview manufacturers put them on their boxes? Adapting to them now?
