Always? I find it hard to believe that the very first TVs in the UK came with a coaxial antenna connection.

And of course we don't still use them. This adapter is from the 1980s, when they were being phased out.

In the Netherlands we've always had coaxial connections as long as I can remember. A quick google search tells me this has been so since the introduction of TV in the 1940's.
