Antenna not the right size.

Bought an antenna and it doesn't fit. Any idea of an adapter?

Someone may make an adaptor....

What is going on here? Is that a television and an old analogue antenna? Because I think TV is all digital now.....you need a digital box....

No. It's a LCD TV that's from the USA. I used a digital antenna with it in the USA

There seem to be a lot of adapters about but no idea which kind you would need.

Will your US TV even work here?

You may be better off asking that question here.

Hi,

You've semi answered your own question!

The connector on the LCD TV is a screw type connector and often used with Satellite/Cable TV box outputs or a 'digital antenna' as you mention.

It sounds as though the TV is over 'here' in the UK (from the USA) and it'll most likely not work via the Ant In connection as it'll be a USA model which uses the NTSC video system. The UK uses the PAL system so unless internally the TV has a multi region / decoding feature it won't work to receive UK television broadcasts, be that over the air or via a satellite/cable tv box.

Your best bet would be to purchase a new UK television.

I brought my TV from the US in 2011. I use a Freeview box which works just fine. (Mine was dual voltage, so no need for a converter.) The picture via the Freeview box is actually better than I got with a digital antenna. I connect via the HDMI connection.

The TV is a bog-standard Vizio, and was not expensive, and as we had a 40' container there was no cost to ship over and above everything else that was coming over, plus I have the advantage of watching all my DVDs via an ancient dual voltage multi-region DVD player that has both NTSC and PAL output.

Funny workaround. Bought a USB stick that will work with my PC.

The connector on your equipment is called an 'F' type and the connector on your cable is called an RF connector.

Here is an ebay link for the adapter you need, although if you are comfortable working with cables and plugs, you could cut off the RF connector and buy a 'F' connector from somwhere like B & Q or Screwfix and fit it yourself.

However as others have said if your TV is analogue it will not work in the UK as all Free To Air broadcasts here are now digital. If you wanted to use it you would need a seperate Freeview box,  if you can't pick up a cheapy second hand unit, the cost of a new one might make replacing the TV the more economical option.
