That appears to be the type of wallplate in which the inner is held by a spring clip and the braid has to be folded back under the braid clamp.

It almosr certainly will be when the plate is secured to the wall box.
We're talking a bout safety here. Whoever heard of trouble like this anyway? Who's going to travel 200 miles to install a TV aerial?
Only you are for some reason.
Many people.
Have you ever been to Scotland?
Because you are a left brainer it's obvious you would 1) not be able to consider scenarios outside your own personal experiences and 2) argue the validity of any scenario outside your personal experiences.

Some years ago, I came across a distribution system for some sheltered housing in Farnborough which was maintained by a firm in Newxcatle upon Tyne.
There's one then. I 'spect most installers don't go more then ten or fifteen miles for a job.
Did they have a local office?

Not that the resident in the housing scheme knew about
It's a common cause of reception problems. The braid loses contact with the plate during installation.
That's mostly how I made my living for many years. Distribution systems in all corners of the UK. All of them under warranty.

Yes, some years ago there was a Newcastle firm that had contracts with property management firms and housing associations all over the UK. I don't remember the name. They tended to send their own electricians (who were electricians pure and simple) to fix problems with TV distribution systems. They also used them to install CCTV. These guys routinely fitted a modulator in line with the TV aerial downlead (for the door camera), with no concept of channel clashes, signal levels, etc. Eventually the Newcastle firms would send for a local aerial guy, presumably taking pot luck in the Yellow Pages.
Bill
I don't think you actually know anything about this industry. Do you realise that we are talking about jobs worth thousands?
Bill.
That sounds about right. All I can remember about the system was that the Band II aerial had its back towards Wrotham.
The 'best' electrician job I saw was at the BBC pavilion at the Royal Welsh Showground, Incoming aerial fed into a 2 outlet amplifier and a dozen sockets fed in a ring from one outlet to the other!
