Default Question for the Brits here, what do you call a Belling-Leeconnector?

What do you call a Belling-Lee connector?

I know in the US they call them PAL connectors because PAL TVs sold by
grey market importers in the 1980s used them.

As a joke I have referred to the ones on US TVs as NTSC connectors. Just about
everywhere I know, they are always called "F" connectors.

Here F connectors are used for cable TV and satellite wiring. Cable boxes have
(if they are old enough to have an RF out) F connectors on them. DBS boxes
that have RF outs use the Belling-Lee connectors.

TV sets, including the ones with DBS-T inputs, VCRs (no new ones here) and
DBS-T converters all have Belling-Lee inputs and outputs.

The reason I ask is that I am using compression connectors for everything now,
and have no trouble getting compression F connectors locally, BNC and RCA
connectors (I have some old radios with RCA antenna jacks) mail order,
but can only find one mention of a Belling-Lee compression connector and that
was in a PDF catalog from New Zealand.

I spent a long time looking for them on the UK eBay site, and several UK
distributors but could only find the the kind that require you to manually
assemble them. (screw them together).

Am I wasting my time? Are there none of them available? Am I calling them
by the wrong name, which is why I can't find them?

Thanks in advance,

Geoff.
