It's hard to make out exactly what they are saying.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_169-2 says:

"DAB (digital radio) and other reception modes are not as severely
affected by the impedance matching issue, so only HDTV and satellite
reception systems are forced to use the F connector."

This is ambiguous, as HDTV over DVB-T is still very rare in Europe.
One possible interpretation is that any DVB-T HDTV receiver uses the F
type connector. For example, for DVB-T HDTV receivers in France. Or
another interpretation might be that only satellite receivers, which
already provide HDTV in Europe, use the F connector.

The rest of this seems to confirm that F connectors are used for all
DVB-S satellite receivers.

"In spite of being somewhat unsuitable for modern analog VHF and UHF
TV frequencies, due to industrial inertia, the Belling-Lee connector
is still used today as a TV signal reception connector.

"In Europe and the Americas this connector is not used to connect
satellite TV antennas. The more electrically suitable 75-ohm F
connector is standard. However, the obsolete BSB receiver used a
Belling-Lee connector for the LNB feed[1]."

Here's some stuff:
