Belling-Lee connector or IEC 169-2 connector
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_aerial_plug

What's the name of the plugs in USA?
It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.

Belling-Lee connetors are not used in the USA. We use F connectors
and RCA connectors for TV RF:

However, not all the F connector plugs are threaded as in "quick
connect" or "push on" connectors that simply slide over the threads.



The push on connectors were the 'G' series, and designed to be
matable with the 'F' series. Most places selling them are absolutely
clueless, like selling DE9 connectors as DB9. Mass marketing to, for
and by idiots.


Adapters are available:

If you want real fun, try to buy a 'HN' connector over the counter at
a wholesaler. ;-)
