wallplate has not been installed...

No wallplate? Bloody hell! Never heard of that before.

How do you get two F connectors on the end of a cable? I can hear the
sound of the Indians a-coming...

No wallplate, I only have the two f connectors on the end of the cable.
Not really bothered as I only need the satellite connection anyway but
it would of been nice to have a new aerial and FM port.

No wallplate! I've never, ever, heard of such a thing.

Maybe not on IRS installs but surely some of the house installations don`t
bother to install a wallplate.

I suppose if I got an F connector to coax adapter I should be able to
receive a TV signal from one of the feeds Not that I would sacrifice a sat
feed to do this but it could prove that the cable is carrying the TV signal
as well.

That's why it's normal to use a wallplate such as this

I don't have a wall plate fitted at home in the lounge, but that's because I
have 4 separate cables rather than one (or two) combined ones. In an
communal installation where it is more common to have a more frequent
changeover of dwelling occupants, fitting a labelled wallplate and fitting
fly-leads is the proper way to do the job.

Yeah I would of thought a wallplate would have been installed as standard
but I guess it was a bit of a rush job and they did as much as they could
get away with thinking that I would not need the aerial as I would be using
satellite and have an existing coax socket anyway.

The Poles ALWAYS include a wall plate

True enough but proper TV systems are done to a higher standard. You
have to remember that when the resident moves out the room's going to
look just charming for the next person with some 'orrible wires
hanging down the wall.
