TV aerial no longer working

    Recently repainted the TV room and as the sockets and other faceplates had old paint on them, I decided to fit new faceplates.
    One of these was the aerial connection for the TV.
    Once replaced, TV wouldn't pick up any signal through it. Satellite etc still work fine.

    I took off the faceplate twice more and I'm sure I have it wired correctly. Even tried a few different configurations. Not sure if relevant, but the aerial connection in kitchen doesn't work ( although never actually used for TV, just for testing in this instance).
    Have tried a different fly lead but no joy.
    I even cut back the cable behind faceplate and rewired in case the very end was damaged.
    Any advice?

    This is the current setup. Don't know what the spare cable on the left is for. One on the right is going to sat box.

    Just to save any helpful responses, problem is being resolved by an expert. Turns out faceplate and wiring was ok but old uhf aerial needed upgrade for saorview.
    Although I was only getting some saorview channels previously, I was blaming the old pre-saorview TV. Turns out I was just lucky.

    But I enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions all the same...
