What's the name of the plugs in USA?

It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.

Hello,

The F - connector is for Cable TV to plug into.

You must live in a Cable world. F is the only thing that will connect
to the antenna jack (or signal input jack) on most or all American tvs
these days, and to DVD recorders, and to VCRs in the past, and this
works well because F-connectors are used on the end of co-ax that goes
to antennas too, in the attic, on the roof, and probably from rabbit
ears, which btw are still sold.

So it hardly just for cable TV.

There are usually other
jacks as well. Composite video and left & right audio jacks that are RCA.
Some TVs have an S-video jack which is a 4 pin connector that gives better
picture quality over composite video. Newer TVs will have Component video
jacks which are 3 video jacks all RCA, this is better that composite or
S-Video and even newer TVs with have an HDMI or DVI connector on them.
Using Component video cables for your picture will be better but less
convienent that HDMI.

Yes, you're right.

Hope this help.

Shaun
