John, It's 0500hrs GMT and I've just read your message and it's made my day, I can't stop giggling.

I did indeed find that most sites I looked at for cable had their own connectors which when fitted needed another adapter to make them fit the TV socket, a typical con job, it would seem that the "F" connectors have taken over from the "old" style "D".

Anyway, hoping for two more miracles so I can qualify for sainthood, might be good!
