Replacing broken aerial wall socket

IsThisOneFree

Hi all

I've just bought a new apartment but am not really up for paying sky/UPC a load of money for some free to air channels. Problem is that the aerial wall socket is broken - basically I've got the white surround, and in the middle there just a hole !! I've tried diving the coax cable in, but it doesn't seem to be grasping anything. I've looked inside this hole as best I can, and I can see there is differing inside it alright. What I'm wondering is, if I but a new wall socket, will it just be 5 minutes with my screwdriver, and the page just clips into whatever is inside the broken socket? Or is it more complicated than that, and should I just get a professional?

Hope I've explained this OK

Thanks in advance

Managed to get a picture. Seems to be straight forward male connection, and I presume the inside part of the wall plate I would but in the hardware store would be female. So it should be pretty straight forward?? Or do I need some short cable to go between this and the wall plate ?

I'm not sure what you are looking at - can you remove the faceplate and post another photo?

Probably a straight forward TV wall socket, you should be able to pick one up at your local DIY store, example - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Single-Screened-Aerial-Television-Faceplate/dp/B0037QON1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398895183&sr=8-1&keywords=tv+wall+socket. 5 min job to replace.
