DYI Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey guys, not sure if this is the right spot for this. Feel free to point me in the right direction if it's not. I have just moved into a new rental property. In the main lounge room area there is no normal antenna connection port. (not sure of the technical term for it) The only connections that are available in the room are in this picture. Apologies if the picture is massive. Is there any way I can get free to air TV through any of these connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzyDave Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You most likely can. My Austar has 3 cables. 2 go to the dish for satellite channels and one goes to the antenna for free to air channels. Just connect your TV to each one in succession until you get the free to air signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYI Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 So i can connect my TV straight to one of those sockets and get free to air? I don't have an Austar box to connect into them. Can i just get an attachment cord to go into those sockets and into my TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzyDave Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You don't need an Austar box. Yes you can plug your TV into one of the three connectors on the wall, but only one of them will go to the aerial. You can buy an adapter for your standard TV coax to plug into the wall mount. Go to Dick Smith or similar with your TV aerial cable and tell them you need to connect to the line connector on the wall plate in your photo.
