Electronic Antennas!

I recently bought two of these contraptions as suitable for both TV and
Radio reception.
The advertised instructions were as follows: Simply plug in and enjoy TV the
way it was meant to be without the expense of those ugly outdoor
contraptions or those clumsy indoor aerials!
Since receiving the delivery, I found there were two parts to this wonder
aerial, one was the actual object its self which can be plugged into the
aerial connection at the rear of the TV, the other, a small rectangular box
with an aerial connection at one end and two small connection cables that
each have a tiny horse shoe shaped contraptions fixed to the other end off
each cable, but no instructions on how they are connected to the TV, or
radio!
Can anyone assist on how to solve this conundrum?
If so, I would be delighted for any advice.

I'd say that is probably a 72 ohm cable to 300 ohm twinlead adapter, for
use with TVs that have a twinlead (two screws) connection rather than a
coax cable connection.

I'm not an expert on UK wonder aerials. Here on the continent, we have no
need for them <g>

I think you left out some important bits .
Manufacturer's name, model/type ...

You have no broadcast television or radio? *Everything* is cable/sat?

No, we have no need for *wonder* aerials, standard aerials do the job just
fine.

Seriously though, it seems we really have a lot of cable connections,
especially compared to the UK. I'll try to unearth some statistics.

 

They have to use huge arrays or dishes to pick up British broadcasts;
nothing else worth watching <WEG>

 

Two seperate units? ---one for the tv the other is for your radio FM

 

You got a lot of explaining to do.

They are connected to the tv or they aren't?
