Looks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_169-2 to me. Also see my post above. Basically the same thing, but different connector.

Yeah, the top left one is definitely a TV aerial connector, unmistakeable

which both the bottom two can be too. All three connectors are of the same 'type', they all offer a signal transmitted over a (probably 75ohm impedance) coaxial wire.

The difference is in the connectors. The top left is a push-on type, while the bottom two are threaded.

What the signal is, extremely highly depends on what those internal cables are connected to. They can offer anything from UHF TV signal, radio, video, antenna to whatever else which can use a 75ohm single coaxial wire. To only way to find out for sure is to follow the cable and look where it goes... and hoping something is labelled. They might as well all be directly connected to eachother behind the socket plate (although I doubt that).

Bottom line is that you can't judge from those connectors what the signal is.

If you're renting, why don't you just ask the landlord what each is for?

That looks like a BNC connector to me.

I've got one of them, it says Telstra on it but it's being used for digital TV. It needs a power booster cause the signal around here isn't too good, and a BNC-to-TV aerial convertor so it can plug into the TV.
