Maybe you mean F plug? If so, no, a wall socket wants to be
unpluggable.

Why so? Why not just 'unscrewable'?

If you have a cable TV connection, that will indeed use an F-plug/socket on
the wall, and that won't be unpluggable, so I fail to see the difference.

If it's a potential safety issue, then at least the OP's would have an
'unpluggable' plug at the TV end (unlike the case with a cable TV
connection).

You can do what you like. Personally I don't see any upside in replacing the connector with one that requires pliers then a minute of stiff turning just to unplug. Belling-Lees aren't ideal either, but they're a lot better suited to that location than F plugs. The signal quality wants addressing elsewhere, an F plug won't cure it.

Cue a long pointless discussion about total trivia.
