I know a few of you have done it but do you have any pics? I've just had the aerial point repaired but know it's going to get a knock again.

Anyway have pics of how they reversed this so it doesn't get knocked?

G'day Macca. This is my first post but I am sure there will be more to come on this excellent forum. I had the same issue as you and decided to move it to the end wall. Bought the mounting block and blanks from Bunnings. Decided to install usb outlets in the same plate. I used a right angle coñnector on the aerial lead behind the plate as kinking the lead is not a good idea. I do plan on buying another right angle for the outside of the waĺl plate as well. One small snag I struck was when I lifted the under bed storage lid it came in contact with the newly installed outlet. I had to take 30mm off the corner of the lid.
Hope this helps. I am sure others have done it other ways.

I couldn't say for certain but you could be okay doing that way. I completely forgot about the lift up storage lid and was disappointed when it made contact.

If its like mine the aeriel socket screws onto a standard f connector on the wall plate simply unscrew the aerial socket and get a cable from wollworths that has f connectors on both ends comes with adapters so you can plug one end into the telly and the other you simply screw on and unscrew when not in use maybe that helps?

Might have a look at mine on the weekend as it's always annoyed me the way it's done. Once I've got a look at the back of the plate I'll report back what I come up with.
