I am trying to distribute FM/TV/Sat signal throughout my house and have
stumbled on the decision of which socket to stick in every room. The
signals will be arriving in different rooms combined and via a single
RG6 cable. I will then be using an external triplex de-combiner. The
de-combiner will plug into the RG6 wall socket.
However I have not managed to find much info on the
advantages/disadvantages of each of the above (IEC = Normal TV out,
F-Connector, BNC) plug types (which will be the wall socket).
Anyone out there who can help/enlighten?
thanks in advance.

I would suggest using F for the reason of standarization. Easy to terminate,
widely available and compatible with off-the-shelf cables. Likely much more
understandable for any future user/buyer of your home.

I second that recommendation. Also, spend the money on a snap-n-seal tool and get a bag of the indoor connectors.
