All of you are all wrong.. The plugs that are on the white cable in the

I can't find a BNC female to Belling Lee adaptor in Amazon US...

In fact Amazon US doesn't have any electronics item with "Belling Lee"
in its specification.


In the US they are called PAL connectors.

Officially, on both sides of the pond, they are referred to as IEC
169-2, or IEC 60169-2 connectors, and they are CRAP for TV usage as
they are not a proper match to 75 ohm cable - actually closer to 50
ohm, and cause reflections and ghosting of the signal

The IEC 169-24, or "F" connector is superior for TV use.
