If your picture is pretty good then you have done the job.

normally you cant go wrong wiring a TV outlet the braid is folded
back over the sheathing and then clamped in a brass/metal retainer.

Getting the braided part (already folded back) and the sheathing
underneath the clamp was the hard bit - it moved the braiding around
- dangerously close to the core!

I'm quite sure it's ok - if it wasn't would there be a risk of damage
to my new shiny tv?

Never having known anything much about TV aerials or the theory thereof,
I was surprised once when up a ladder reattaching one to the aerial
mast, to find that at the aerial end of the cable, the braid and core
were each connected to different parts of the aerial; ie they are
connected electrically anyway.

So that would be a 'no' to your question!
