Not good news.

The cables supplied (maybe he sent the wrong ones) don't fit.
They have a MALE push-fit connector on on end (to fit onto the factory-installed aerial leads) and an F-connector on the other (to go to a new DVB-T tuner).

The Analog TV tuner has a female socket and the incoming leads have male connectors on. They are push-fit but look a bit bigger - anyone know what they are exactly?
